Formula

M(n,k) = min( p_i : p_(i+1) - p_i = 2*k, p_i and p_(i+1) consecutive primes and p_i < m*10^n < p_(i+1) for some integer m) where p_j is the j-th prime, n>=1 and k>=1.

Every column in the matrix is nondecreasing.
For the first and fourth columns, ceiling(M[n,1]/10^n) and ceiling(M[n,4]/10^n) are divisible by 3, for all n>=1 (see A158277 and A287049).
