Primes in the sumset {A000584 + A000584 + A000584 + A000584 + A000584}.
There must be an odd number of odd terms in the sum, either 5 odd terms (as with 5 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 and 16811 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 7^5), two even and 3 odd terms (as with 67 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 and 1301 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 2^5 + 3^5 + 4^5) or four even terms and one odd term (as with 3253 = 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 5^5). The sum of two positive 5th powers (A003347), other than 2 = 1^5 + 1^5, cannot be prime.

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 5 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5.
a(2) = 67 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5.
a(3) = 1301 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 2^5 + 3^5 + 4^5.
a(4) = 1543 = 1^5 + 2^5 + 3^5 + 3^5 + 4^5.
a(5) = 2113 = 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 4^5 + 4^5.
a(6) = 3191 = 1^5 + 1^5 + 2^5 + 2^5 + 5^5.
a(7) = 4339 = 3^5 + 4^5 + 4^5 + 4^5 + 4^5.
