%N Least number that is the start of a prime-semiprime gap of size n.
%C A prime-semiprime gap of n is defined as the difference between p & q, p being either a prime, A000040, or a semiprime, A001358, and q being the next greater prime or semiprime, see examples.
%C The corresponding numbers at the end of the prime-semiprime gaps, i.e., a(n)+n, are in A278404.
%C In the first 52 terms, 19 are primes and the remaining 33 are semiprime. Of the end-of-gap terms a(n)+n, 20 are primes and 32 are not. There are only 6 pairs of p and q that are both primes, and 19 pairs that are both semiprime.

%e a(1) = 2 since there is a gap of 1 between 2 and 3, both of which are primes.
%e a(2) = 7 since there is a gap of 2 between 7 and 9, the first is a prime and the second is a semiprime.
%e a(3) = 26 since there is a gap of 3 between 26, a semiprime, and 29, a prime.
%e a(6) = 241 because the first prime-semiprime gap of size 6 is between 241 and 247.
