COMMENTS
Even lengths of runs of composites are omitted, as nontrivial runs always have odd lengths (see A046933).
Run 5 (starting at 114) has 13 consecutive composites and is repeated in runs 6 and 7. Run 8 starts at 524 = A008950(6).
EXAMPLE
Run 1 has length 1; the first composite is 4.
Run 2 has length 3; the first three consecutive composites are 8, 9, and 10.
Run 3 has length 5; the first five consecutive composites are 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28.
