Example

a(2) = 83 from 83 = 11+13+17+19+23 (5 primes) = 23+29+31 (3 primes).
a(3) = 371 from 371 = 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 + 31 + 37 + 41 + 43 + 47 + 53 (13 primes) = 41 + 43 + 47 + 53 + 59 + 61 + 67 (7 primes) = 113 + 127 + 131 (3 primes). - Michael S. Branicky, Nov 30 2021
a(4) = 311 from
  311 = 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 + 31 + 37 + 41 + 43 + 47 (11 primes)
  = 31 + 37 + 41 + 43 + 47 + 53 + 59 (7 primes)
  = 53 + 59 + 61 + 67 + 71 (5 primes)
  = 101 + 103 + 107 (3 primes).
