The terms are the (10^n)-th initial members of the prime octuplets of the form (p, p+2, p+6, p+12, p+14, p+20, p+24, p+26). Terms a(5) and a(6) were found using a program provided by Norman Luhn during an effort to find A210439(8) and A332493(8).
Asymptotically for n -> infinity, C_HL*Integral_{x=2..a(n)} 1/log(x)^8 dx = 10^n, where C_HL = 475.36521172411318772... is the specific Hardy-Littlewood constant for this prime constellation. The predicted approximate values using this relationship would be a(6) = 4.629899*10^15 and a(7) = 8.9223552*10^16.
