%N Indices of rows of n consecutive smallest primes in A333238, or -1 if n consecutive smallest primes do not appear in A333238.

%C Consider the irregular table where row m lists the distinct smallest primes p of prime partitions of m. Row n of this sequence contains all m that have n consecutive primes starting with 2.

%C Alternatively, positions of k-repunits in A333259.

%C A330507(n) = First terms in row n.

%C Null rows occur at n = {90, 151, 349, 352, 444, ...} and are thus filled with the term -1.

%e There are no primes in rows 0 or 1 of A333238, thus row 0 of this sequence contains {0, 1}.

%e The smallest prime, 2, appears alone in rows 2 and 4 of A333238, thus row 1 of this sequence contains {2, 4}.

%e We have the primes {2, 3} and no other primes in rows {6, 8, 9} in A333238, thus row 2 of this sequence contains {6, 8, 9}.

%e We have the primes {2, 3, 5} and no other primes in rows {10, 12, 15, 16} in A333238, thus row 3 of this sequence contains {10, 12, 15, 16}, etc.
