COMMENTS
This is to A000032 as A130774 is to A000204. Like these Lucas numbers, a(n) cycles even, odd, odd, even, odd, odd, ... a(n) is prime for n = 1, 5 and semiprime for n = 2, 3, 6, 14. No more prime nor semiprime values through n = 60, which has a 381 digit composite factor.
FORMULA
a(1) = 2; a(n+1) = Concatenate(a(n),A000032(n+1)).
