COMMENTS
Naturally a subsequence of A260004.
See A260002-A260003 for the evaluation of the Sudan function.
Using f(2,n,2) = f(1, f(2,n,1), f(2,n,1)+2) = 2^(f(2,n,1)+2)*(f(2,n,1)+2)-f(2,n,1)-4 and f(2,n,1) = f(1, n, n+1) = 2^(n+1)*(n+2)-(n+3) we have:
a(n)=f(2,n,2)
=f(1, 2^(n+1)*(n+2)-(n+3), 2^(n+1)*(n+2)-(n+3)+2)
=2^(2^(n+1)*(n+2)-(n+3)+2)*(2^(n+1)*(n+2)-(n+3)+2)-2^(n+1)*(n+2)+(n+3)-4
=2^(2^(n+1)*(n+2)-(n+1))*(2^(n+1)*(n+2)-(n+1))-2^(n+1)*(n+2)+(n-1).

FORMULA
a(n) = 2^(2^(n+1)*(n+2)-(n+1))*(2^(n+1)*(n+2)-(n+1))-2^(n+1)*(n+2)+(n-1).
EXAMPLE
a(1) = f(2,1,2) = f(1,f(2,1,1),f(2,1,1)+2) = f(1,8,10) = 2^10*(8+2)-10-2 = 10228.
