Number of ordered ways to write n = k + m (k > 0, m > 0) such that p = 2*k + phi(m) - 1, prime(p + 2) + 2 and 2*n - p are all prime, where phi(.) is Euler's totient function.

COMMENTS
Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 712.
This implies the conjecture in A236566.
EXAMPLE
a(100) = 1 since 100 = 10 + 90 with 2*10 + phi(90) - 1 = 20 + 24 - 1 = 43, prime(43 + 2) + 2 = 197 + 2 = 199 and 2*100 - 43 = 157 all prime.
a(1727) = 1 since 1727 = 956 + 771 with 2*956 + phi(771) - 1 = 1912 + 512 - 1 = 2423, prime(2423 + 2) + 2 = 21599 + 2 = 21601 and 2*1727 - 2423 = 1031 all prime.
