%N Repeatedly subtract largest prime from n until either a prime or 1 remains.

%C The representation as strings of primes is similar to the Zeckendorf expansion, A035514's strings of Fibonacci numbers.

%e a(8) = 71 because 8 = 7 + 1.

%o (PARI) a(n) = {lp = List(); while(n!= 1 && ! isprime(n), p = precprime(n-1); listput(lp, p); n -= p;); listput(lp, n); return (sum(i=1, #lp, 10^(#lp - i)*lp[i]));} \\ _Michel Marcus_, Jun 10 2013

%Y Cf. A000040, A035514.
