COMMENTS
Daniel Heuer found a(5) in 2004 by sieving up to 2^33 and then checking ~8000 candidates with pfgw-linux. Proving primality of 10^99999+309403 is beyond current (2004) technology.
a(6) was found by Kenneth Pedersen, Peter Kaiser, and Patrick De Geest. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 11 2013

FORMULA
a(n) = nextprime(10^(10^n-1)) - 10^(10^n-1) = A007920(10^A002283(n)). - Jeppe Stig Nielsen, Jan 23 2021
EXAMPLE
a(1)=7 because the smallest ten-digit prime is 1000000007.
a(2)=289 because the smallest 100-digit prime is 10^99+289.
