The path of minimum diameter of length 7 requires an enclosing circle of D = 3.055, which is greater than the previous minimum diameter of D = 2.00 corresponding to a(3) = 6. No path of length 8 exists that fits into a circle of D = 3.055, thus a(4) = 7.
See link for illustrations of terms corresponding to diameters D <= 9.85.
