COMMENTS
By parity, there must be an odd number of odds in the sum. Hence this sequence is the union of primes which are the sum of five odd cubes (such as 5 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3); primes which are the sum of the cube of two even numbers and the cubes of three odd numbers (such as 19 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 2^3 + 2^3); and the primes which are the sum of the cube of an odd number and the cubes of four even numbers (such as 59 = 3^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3). A subset of this sequence is the primes which are the sum of the cubes of five distinct primes (i.e. of the form p^3 + q^3 + r^3 + s^3 + t^3 for p, q, r, s, t distinct odd primes) such as 105649 = 3^3 + 5^3 + 7^3 + 11^3 + 47^3. No prime can be the sum of two cubes (by factorization of the sum of two cubes).

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 5 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3.
a(2) = 19 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 2^3 + 2^3.
a(3) = 31 = 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 3^3.
a(4) = 59 = 3^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3 + 2^3.
