Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Partition the string of binary digits of Pi in such a way that each partition begins and ends with 1 (thus no leading or trailing zeros) and each such partition is prime.
Pi_2 = 1100100100001111110110101010001000100001011010001100001000..._2 (A004601).
If 2 is allowed as a member, then the sequence begins: 2787,2,5,6,2,2,2,39,5,8,2,18,9,10,2,153,2,6,2,18,7,7,12,2,2,2,2,....
EXAMPLE
a(1) represents the binary number 1100100100...(2767 terms)...0100000011 which equals the decimal number 7339860347...(819 terms)...8308318467 which is a prime.
a(2) represents the binary number 101001 which equals the decimal number 41, a prime.
