COMMENTS
Prime quintuplets (p, p+2, p+6, p+8, p+12) are one of the two types of densest permissible constellations of 5 primes. Maximal gaps between quintuplets of this type are listed in A201073; see more comments there.

EXAMPLE
The initial four gaps of 6, 90, 1380, 14580 (starting at p=5, 11, 101, 1481) form an increasing sequence of records. Therefore a(1)=5, a(2)=11, a(3)=101, and a(4)=1481. The next gap is smaller, so a new term is not added.
