%N a(n) is the smallest k such that 2^k+1 has n primitive prime factors.
%C A prime factor of 2^n+1 is called primitive if it does not divide 2^r+1 for any r<n. See A086257 for the number of primitive prime factors in 2^n+1. It is known that a(8) = 194.

%e a(2) = 14 because 2^14+1 = 5*29*113 and 29 and 113 do not divide 2^r+1 for r < 14.
