Formula

a(n) = n+1 - A091937(n).

Maple

f:= proc(n) local t, j, k;
  t:= 2^(n+1)-1;
  if isprime(t) then return 0 fi;
  for j from 1 to n-1 do if isprime(t-2^j) then return 1 fi od;
  for j from 1 to n-2 do for k from j+1 to n-1 do
    if isprime(t-2^j-2^k) then return 2 fi od od;
  FAIL
end proc:
map(f, [$1..200]); # Robert Israel, Mar 05 2020
