%e For n=1, start-prime = prime(1) = 2, 2+3=5 is prime, length=2, so a(1)=2;

%e for n=2, start-prime = prime(2) = 3, 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 = 127 is prime, length=9, all shorter partial sums are composite, so a(2)=9;

%e for n=160, prime(160) = 941, 941 + ... + 1609 = 121123 is prime, a(160)=95.
