COMMENTS
All terms must be odd since 2 is only represented once in the factorization of any primorial. The two divisors of different parity, p and q, must straddle the square root of the primorial.

EXAMPLE
a(7) = 41 since the middle four divisors of 7# or 2*3*5*7*11*13*17 = 510510 are 663, 714, 715 and 770. Because the middle two only differ by 1, the next pair, 663 and 770 are used and their difference is 107.
a(8) = 41 since the middle two divisors of 8# are 3094 and 3135 which have a difference of 41.
