Comments

Using only base-8 digits 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 let s be a palindrome and put a(1) = s. Let a(2) be the least palindromic prime having s in the middle; for n > 2, let a(n) be the least palindromic prime have a(n-1) in the middle. Then (a(n)) is the sequence of minimal nested palindromic base-8 primes with seed s.

Example

a(3) = 1411141 is the least base-8 prime having a(2) = 111 in its middle. Triangular format:
           1
          111
        1411141
      12141114121
   10412141114121401
11610412141114121401611

Mathematica

s = {1}; base = 8; z = 20; Do[NestWhile[# + 1 &, 1, ! PrimeQ[tmp = FromDigits[Join[#, IntegerDigits[Last[s]], Reverse[#]] &[IntegerDigits[#, base]], base]] &];
AppendTo[s, FromDigits[IntegerDigits[tmp, base]]], {z}]; s  (* A262661 *)
Map[FromDigits[ToString[#], base] &, s]  (* A262662 *)
