Conjecture: a(n) < sqrt(6*n)*log(3*n) for all n > 0.
We have verified this for n up to 5*10^5. Note that a(273) = 271 > sqrt(6*273)*log(2*273).
According to the conjecture in A218829, a(n) should be positive for all n > 2.

EXAMPLE
|
a(5) = 2 since prime(prime(2)) + 2 = prime(3) + 2 = 7 and prime(5-2) + 2 = 7 are both prime, but prime(5-1) + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9 is composite.
