COMMENTS
Every sufficiently large odd number is the sum of three primes (th. by Vinogradov, 1937). Goldbach's conjecture requires three ODD primes and then a(n) > 0 for n > 2 is weaker.
The unconditional theorem was proved by Helfgott (see link below). - T. D. Noe, May 15 2013

EXAMPLE
7 = 2 + 2 + 3 so a(3) = 1;
9 = 2 + 2 + 5 = 3 + 3 + 3 so a(4) = 2;
11 = 2 + 2 + 7 = 3 + 3 + 5 so a(5) = 2.
