%N Smallest prime(i) such that the constellation of the n following prime gaps is the same constellation as the gaps following prime(i+n).

%C "Constellation" in the title means that not only the set of the prime gaps after the two primes is the same, but the order of the prime gaps must also be preserved.

%e a(1)=3 as the prime gap [2] is repeated in the same order for 3->5 and 5->7.

%e a(2)=5 as the prime gaps [2, 4] are repeated for 5->7->11 and 11->13->17.

%e a(4)=839 as the prime gaps [14, 4, 2, 4] are repeated for the 2 consecutive sets of consecutive primes 839->853->857->859->863 and 863->877->881->883->887.
