A237638 a(n) is the number of prime sets such that each set contains enough prime numbers to decompose every even number from 6 to 2n into the sum of two of its elements (reuse allowed), while none of the sets is a subset of another such set. 2

EXAMPLE
n=4, 2n=8. There is only one set of primes {3,5} such that 6=3+3, 8=3+5. So a(4)=1.
...
n=8, 2n=16. We can find two sets, {3,5,7,11} and {3,5,7,13} that have such features. So a(8)=2. Here any set with more primes either contains an unused prime number or one of these two sets is a subset of them, like {3,5,7,11,13}, and thus is not considered. So a(8)=2.
...
n=13, 2n=26. Five such sets are found: {3,5,7,11,13}, {3,5,7,13,17},{3,5,7,13,19}, {3,5,7,11,17,19}, {3,5,7,11,17,23}. So a(13)=5.
