Comments

Gaps 2 and 4 are conjectured to occur roughly equally often and each occur infinitely often (see link "Polignac's conjecture").

Conjecture: This sequence is infinite.

Example

Up to 89, gaps 2 and 4 occur respectively 8 and 7 times. After 97 (the next prime after 89), there is a gap of 4. So up to 97, gaps 2 and 4 occur the same number of times and the gap after 97 is 2 or 4, so 97 is in the sequence.
