COMMENTS
We search for w twos and t threes in prime(n) = 2*w + 3*t. If t = floor(prime(n)/3) would lead to w = 1/2, we decrease t by 1.
The number of twos is 3 - A039701(n) if n > 1.
If prime(n) is congruent to 1 mod 6, then a(n) starts with 22, but if prime(n) is congruent to 5 mod 6, then a(n) starts with 2. - Alonso del Arte, Dec 04 2013

EXAMPLE
a(3) = 23 because the third prime is 5 and 2 + 3 = 5.
a(4) = 223 because the fourth prime is 7 and 2 + 2 + 3 = 7.
a(5) = 2333 because the fifth prime is 11 and 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 11.

Module[{nn = 30, t1, t2}, t1 = FromDigits/@Select[Table[PadRight[{2}, n, 3], {n, 2, nn}], PrimeQ[Total[#]] &]; t2 = FromDigits/@ Select[ Table[ PadRight[{2, 2}, n, 3], {n, 2, nn}], PrimeQ[Total[#]] &]; Union[ Join[ {2, 3}, t1, t2]]] (* Harvey P. Dale, Mar 06 2013 *)
