Prime q is sum of even semiprimes 2*p (A100484) and prime(i+2) (i = 1, 2, ...) (A000040).
Equivalent conditions: q = 2*p + prime(i+2) <=> p = (q - prime(i+2))/2 <=> (q - prime(i+2))/p = 2.
Algorithm: Q = prime(i+2) + 2*N, search first N with digsum(N) = digsum(Q);
(a) if Q AND N prime: p = N;
(b) if N composite: for n(k) = N + 9*k, q(k) = prime(i+2) + 2*(N + 9*k)
(i) digsum(n(k)) = digsum(q(k)),
(ii) n(k) has to be prime, let k = 1, 2, ... (Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions),
(iii) q(k) has to be prime (k = 1, 2, ... , again Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions);
Smallest k with (i), (ii) and (iii) gives term of sequence p = p(i).
Each prime > 3 is so "associated" uniquely with a pair (p,q) of primes.
List of triples (prime(i+2), p, q) is given in link for 0 <= i <= 100.
Pairs of primes (p, q) classified according to their digsum:
2: (2,11) (11,101) (2,101)
4: (13,31) (31,103) (31,211)

Note: prime(i+2) is used in the sequence for 2 reasons: prime(i) could not be used for i=1 because q would be 2*p + prime(1) = 2*p + 2 that is not prime; prime(i+1) could not be used for i=1, because q would be 2*p + prime(2) = 2*p + 3, but numbers q with digsum(q) = digsum(p) are necessarily of form q = 9*k + 6 that is not prime.

EXAMPLE
i=1: 2*13 + prime(3) = 26+5 = 31 = prime(11), digsum(13) = digsum(31) = 4, 13 is first term.
i=2: 2*2 + prime(4) = 4+7 = 11 = prime(5), digsum(2) = digsum(11) = 2, 2 is 2nd term.
i=3: 2*151 + prime(5) = 302+11 = 313 = prime(65), digsum(151) = digsum(313) = 7, 151 is 3rd term.
