Inspired by article on 43 in Archimedes' Lab link.

EXAMPLE
a(0)=53 because 53 is the smallest prime such that all numbers obtained by adding a digit to the right are composite.
a(1)=53 because 5 and 53 are primes.
a(2)=317 because 3, 31, 317 are all primes, and 317 has the same property as 53 when adding a digit to the right.
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = {n++; v = vector(n); i = 1; ok = 0; until (ok, while ((i>1) && (v[i] == 9), v[i] = 0; i--); if (i == 1, v[i] = nextprime(v[i]+1), v[i] = v[i]+1); curp = sum (j=1, i, v[j]*(10^(i-j))); if (isprime(curp), if (i != n, i++, nbp = 0; for (z=1, 9, if (isprime(10*curp+z), nbp++); ); if (nbp == 0, ok = 1); ); ); ); sum (j=1, n, v[j]*(10^(n-j))); }
