%N a(n) = smallest number k > a(n-1) maximizing the number of primes in all sums a(j)+k, j=1..(n-1), with a(1)=2.

%e a(6)=27 because it is the smallest number producing 3 primes in the sums with all previous terms: a(1)+27 = 2+27 = 29, a(3)+27 = 4+27 = 31, a(5)+27 = 10+27 = 37;

%e a(7)=34: a(2)+34 = 3+34 = 37, a(4)+34 = 9+34 = 43, a(6)+34 = 27+34 = 61;

%e a(8)=69 because it is the smallest number producing 4 primes in the sums with all previous terms: a(1)+69 = 2+69 = 71, a(3)+69 = 4+69 = 73, a(5)+69 = 10+69 = 79, a(7)+69 = 34+69 = 103.
