Conjecture: a(n)>0 for all n>8.
This has been verified for n up to 10^7.
As p+q=2p+(q-p), the conjecture implies Lemoine's conjecture related to A046927.
Zhi-Wei Sun also conjectured that any integer n>2 can be written as p+q, where p is a prime, one of q and q+1 is prime and another of q and q+1 is practical.

a(9)=1 since 2*9-1=5+12 with 12 practical, 5 and 12-5 both prime.
