Comments

Previous name was: Partition the primes in triples starting with 3: {3, 5, 7}, {11, 13, 17}, {19, 23, 29}, {31, 37, 41}, {43, 47, 53}, {59, 61, 67}, {71, 73, 79}, {83, 89, 97}, {101, 103, 107}. Sequence gives differences between smallest and largest prime in each triple.

Minimal difference is 6 (for 3-tuplet) except first triple. Repeating 6 means successive 3-tuplets, see A088683, A088684, ...
