Comments

Using only base-4 digits 0,1,2,3, let s be a palindrome and put a(1) = s. Let a(2) be the least palindromic prime having s in the middle; for n > 2, let a(n) be the least palindromic prime have a(n-1) in the middle. Then (a(n)) is the sequence of minimal nested base-4 palindromic primes with seed s.

Example

a(3) = 31013 is the least base-4 prime having a(2) = 101 in its middle. Triangular format:
         0
        101
       31013
      3310133
   1023310133201
3331023310133201333,

Mathematica

s = {0}; base = 4; z = 20; Do[NestWhile[# + 1 &, 1, ! PrimeQ[tmp = FromDigits[Join[#, IntegerDigits[Last[s]], Reverse[#]] &[IntegerDigits[#, base]], base]] &];
AppendTo[s, FromDigits[IntegerDigits[tmp, base]]], {z}]; s  (* A262633 *)
Map[FromDigits[ToString[#], base] &, s]  (* A262634 *)
