COMMENTS
It is conjectured that this sequence is infinite, and that similar lists of primes can be generated by using any even number of consecutive primes. Specifying 2 consecutive primes results in A096342. However, it should be noted that the percentage of resulting primes (as compared to all numbers generated in this manner) decreases as the number of consecutive primes to consider increases.

EXAMPLE
227 is a term since 227 is prime and is generated by (2*3*5*7) + (2+3+5+7).
1181 is a term since 1181 is prime and is generated by (3*5*7*11) + (3+5+7+11).
