COMMENTS
It seems that for n > 2, a(n) + 2 is prime. Any counterexample p must have p > 3^1000000 and p+4 prime, and {p+1, p+2, p+3} must contain a power of 2 or 3. (The case where p+1 and p+3 are 3-smooth case can be ruled out via Catalan's conjecture/Mihăilescu's theorem.) In particular known Mersenne factorizations rule out the Fermat case below 2^144115188075855872 - 3, GIMPS rules out the Mersenne case below 2^36046457 - 1, and the exponents in A014224 rule out the remaining case below 3^1000000 - 2. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jun 01 2016

EXAMPLE
For p = 79, the next prime number is 83. The numbers between 79 and 83 and the prime divisors are respectively 80 { 2, 5 }, 81 { 3 }, 82 { 2, 41 }. The set of prime divisors is { 2, 3, 5, 41 } and has 4 elements, so 79 is a term. - Marius A. Burtea, Sep 26 2019
