FORMULA
a(n) = A000720(A249775(n)) - n + 1.
EXAMPLE
a(4) starts with prime(4) = 7. 711 is not prime. 71113 is not prime. 7111317 is not prime. 711131719 is prime. Since 711131719 = 7//11//13//17//19, 711131719 is the concatenation of 5 primes, hence a(4) = 5.
PROG
(PARI) a(n)=s=Str(prime(n)); c=0; forprime(p=prime(n)+1, 40000, s=concat(s, p); c++; if(ispseudoprime(eval(s)), return(c+1))); 0
for(n=1, 50, print1(a(n), ", "))
