%N a(n) is the largest prime p such that all prime numbers q <= p have distinct length n prime gap sequences.

%C Given p(i) the i-th prime number, the gap sequence of length n for prime p(i) is defined as: p(i+1)-p(i), p(i+2)-p(i+1), ..., p(i+n)-p(i+n-1). E.g., the length 3 gap sequence of 7 is [11-7, 13-11, 17-13] is [4, 2, 4].

%e For n = 5, the largest prime with a distinct gap sequence is 47. For all primes up to and including 47, the length 5 gap sequences are distinct, while the next prime, 53, has a gap sequence equal to 23, namely [6, 2, 6, 4, 2].

%o else: s.add(g)
