Example

P(1) + P(2) = 2 + 3 = 5; least prime >= 5 = 5, so a(1)=0.
P(2) + P(3) = 3 + 5 = 8; least prime > 8 = 11, so a(2) = 11 - 8 = 3.
P(3) + P(4) = 5 + 7 = 12; least prime > 12 = 13, so a(3) = 13 - 12 = 1.

Maple

P:= [seq(ithprime(i), i=1..200)]:
map(t -> nextprime(t-1)-t, P[1..-2]+P[2..-1]); # Robert Israel, Feb 04 2020
