This is a dynamically defined sequence. Since the nonprimes from each row are mixed with the nonprimes of previous rows and then sorted, the value of a(n) may change each time we add a new row.
For a modification of R. J. Mathar's program below so that nonprimes are sorted only within each row (so as to get a uniquely defined sequence) see the documentation of sequences A141064, A141065, A141066, A141067, A141068, and A141069.

EXAMPLE
Scanning rows of A141020 or A141021 and sorting new nonprimes into the list we get:
1 yields a(1) = 1.
1 1 yields no new member.
1 2 1 yields no new member.
1 4 2 1 yields a(2) = 4.
1 8 4 2 1 yields a(3) = 8.
1 16 8 4 2 1 yields a(4) = 16.
1 32 16 8 4 2 1 yields a(5) = 32.
1 63 33 16 8 4 2 1 yields a(6) = 33 and a(7) = 63.
1 124 67 33 16 8 4 2 1 yields a(8) = 124.
1 244 136 67 33 16 8 4 2 1 yields a(9) = 136 and a(10) = 244.
1 480 276 136 67 33 16 8 4 2 1 yields a(11) = 276 and a(12) = 480.
1 944 560 276 136 67 33 16 8 4 2 1 yields a(13) = 560 and a(14) = 944.

In the above example, we only sort the nonprimes up to row 11; we get the same output from R. J. Mathar's program below if we say A141031(11). If, however, we include more rows in the program, the indexing of the nonprimes changes.
For example, the nonprimes in the data above come from the nonprimes of 22 rows. If we include more rows, then the indexing again changes and the value of each a(n) may not stay the same.
