Example

a(1) is  2 since  3 -  2 = 1;
a(2) is 11 since 13 - 11 = 2;
a(3) is  7 since 10 -  7 = 3;
a(4) is 67 since 71 - 67 = 4; etc.

Mathematica

nxt[n_] := Block[{k = n +1}, While[ !PrimeQ[k] && !PrimeQ[k/2], k++]; k]; p = 2; q = 3; t[_] = 0; While[p < 215000, d = q - p; If[ t[d] == 0, t[d] = p]; p = q; q = nxt@ q]; t@# & /@ Range@ 47
