H9+ : 1 char
9
That's right. One character. Outputs the lyrics to 99 bottles of beer, which is a valid program. All the extraneous data does not count, but there are plenty of 9s in there.
The output of the outputted program is the lyrics to 99 bottles of beer 59 times.
This function gives the number of times the lyrics are outputted if you run the program n times (if my calculation is correct):
f(n) = 59n-1
