COMMENT

Conjecture: Only one digit needs to be inserted between each pair of digit of a(n-1) to get a(n); i.e. a(n) contains exactly 2n-1 digits for n > 1.

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := Block[{d = IntegerDigits[n]}, k = Length[d]; While[k > 1, d = Insert[d, 0, k]; k-- ]; d = FromDigits[d]; e = d; k = 0; While[ !PrimeQ[e], k++; e = d + 10FromDigits[ IntegerDigits[k], 100]]; e]; NestList[a, 19, 6]
