For k > 1, numbers k such that the digit 6 followed by k-2 occurrences of the digit 9 followed by the digits 53 is prime (see Example section).
a(34) > 3*10^5.
EXAMPLE
2 is in this sequence because 7*10^2 - 47 = 653 is prime.

a(1) = 1, 23;
a(2) = 2, 653;
a(3) = 5, 699953;
a(4) = 8, 699999953;
a(5) = 11, 699999999953; etc.
