Table of n, a(n) for n=0..60.

Example

0+1+1=2, three summands, so a(0)=3,
1+1=2, two summands,
1+2=3, two summands,
2,
3,
5,
8+13+21+34+55=131, five summands, so a(6)=5, and so on.

Mathematica

Table[k = n; p = Fibonacci[k]; While[! PrimeQ[p], k++; p = p + Fibonacci[k]]; k - n + 1, {n, 0, 30}] (* T. D. Noe, Jul 30 2012 *)
