COMMENTS

In general (except possibly when it begins with '2'), the sum of an even number of consecutive primes is even -hence the restriction to odd chain lengths.

EXAMPLE

17 is the first prime in the chain 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, which is the earliest chain of 2 * 3 + 1 = 7 consecutive primes whose sum, 197, is prime. Hence a(3) = 17.
