A088328 Table read by rows where row n contains lower twin primes of the form k*A002110(n)-1 in the range 0 < k < A006094(n+1). 3
3, 5, 11, 17, 5, 11, 17, 29, 41, 59, 71, 101, 107, 137, 149, 179, 191, 197, 29, 59, 149, 179, 239, 269, 419, 569, 599, 659, 809, 1019, 1049, 1229, 1319, 1619, 1949, 2129, 419, 1049, 2309, 2729, 3359, 5879, 6089, 6299, 7349, 7559, 8819, 9239, 10499, 10709 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; text; internal format)

COMMENTS
Some of the values k*primorial(n)-1 generated by k in the range 1 to prime(n+1)*prime(n+2)-1 are not lower twin primes, A001359, so the list of k that produces the n-th row of the irregular table, as shown in A088329, is not a list of necessarily consecutive integers.
If n>2 the count of k values is near or greater than 4*log(4*p(n+1)); is this related to a proof of the infinity of twin prime pairs?

EXAMPLE
2*2 -1 = 3, k=2, n=1
3*2 -1 = 5, k=3, n=1
6*2 -1 = 11, k=6, n=1
9*2 -1 = 17, k=9, n=1
The first three rows are:
3,5,11,17; generated by k=2, 3, 6, 9
