COMMENT

The primes following a(5) and a(6) occur at a(n)+30*k, k=0..(n-1). a(6) was found by Lander and Parkin. The next term requires a spacing >=210. The expected size is a(7)>10^21 (see link). - Hugo Pfoertner (hugo(AT)pfoertner.org), Jun 25 2004

Starting (1, 20, 84, 220,...) = binomial transform of (1, 19, 45, 27, 0, 0, 0,...).
