COMMENTS
It is conjectured that every positive integer except 1 occurs in the array.
From M. F. Hasler, Oct 19 2018: (Start)
The above conjecture is obviously true: the integer i appears in row (prime(i+1) - prime(i))/2.
Polignac's Conjecture states that all rows are of infinite length.
To ensure the sequence is well-defined in case the conjecture would not hold, we can use the convention that finite rows are continued by 0's. (End)

(...)
Row 1: p(2) = 3, p(3) = 5, p(5) = 11, p(7) = 17, ..., these being the primes for which the next prime is 2 greater, cf. A029707.
Row 2: p(4) = 7, p(6) = 13, p(8) = 19, ..., these being the primes for which the next prime is 4 greater, cf. A029709.
MATHEMATICA
rows = 10; t2 = {}; Do[t = {}; p = Prime[2]; While[Length[t] < rows - off + 1, nextP = NextPrime[p]; If[nextP - p == 2*off, AppendTo[t, p]]; p = nextP]; AppendTo[t2, t], {off, rows}]; t3 = Table[t2[[b, a - b + 1]], {a, rows}, {b, a}]; PrimePi /@ t3 (* T. D. Noe, Feb 11 2014 *)
CROSSREFS
Rows 1, 2, 3, ... are A029707, A029709, A320701, ..., A320720; A116493 (row 35), A116496 (row 50), A116497 (row 100), A116495 (row 105).
Column 1 is A038664.
