Usually the greatest p with p, q both prime, p + q = 2m, is equal to the largest prime <= 2m - 2, but not always. These are the exceptions, called "b numbers" ("b-Zahlen") by Nils Johan Pipping.

Almost all numbers are in the sequence. Only the beginning of the sequence is sparse. - Jens Kruse Andersen, Jul 12 2014

Let p be the smallest prime < 2n such that 2n-p is prime, and let r < 2n be the smallest odd nonprime > 1 such that 2n-r is prime; this sequence lists the numbers 2n for which r < p. - David James Sycamore, Jan 14 2019

Example

From David James Sycamore, Jan 14 2019: (Start)
98 is a term because (see 3rd comment above) p = 11 and r = 9.
128 is a term because then p = 19 and r = 15.
908 is a term because then p = 31 and r = 21. (End)
