Cletus Emmanuel calls these "Carol primes".
There are only 25 such primes below 4^1000. Terms beyond a(15) are too large to be displayed here: The sequence should be extended by listing the corresponding n-values in A091515. - M. F. Hasler, May 15 2008
Is there an explanation for the following observed pattern? Between groups of primes of roughly the same size, there is a gap of about the magnitude of these primes, i.e., the size roughly doubles (e.g., after the 16- and 17-digit primes, there is a 34-digit prime, then a 78-digit prime and some others up to 105 digits, then some 200- to 250-digit primes, then approximately 500 digits...). - M.
