COMMENTS
Prime sextuplets (p, p+4, p+6, p+10, p+12, p+16) are densest permissible constellations of 6 primes. The maximal gaps between prime sextuplets are listed in A200503; see further comments there.

EXAMPLE
Two smallest prime sextuplets (p, p+4, p+6, p+10, p+12, p+16) start at p=7 and p=97; so a(1)=7. The gap of 15960 between sextuplets starting at p=97 and p=16057 is a maximal gap - larger than any preceding gap; so a(2)=97. The next gap is smaller, so 16057 is not in A200504. The gap of 24360 after the sextuplet starting at p=19417 is a maximal gap, therefore a(3)=19417; and so on.
