COMMENTS
Conjecture: If n>200 is not among 211, 226, 541, 701, then a(n)>0.
This essentially follows from the conjecture related to A219157, since n=x+y for some positive integers x and y with 6x-1,6x+1,6y-1,6y+1 all prime if and only if 6n=p+q for some twin prime pairs {p,p-2} and {q,q+2}.
Similarly, the conjecture related to A218867 implies that any integer n>491 can be written as x+y (0<x<=y<n) with 6x+1, 6x+5, 6y+1 and 6y+5 all prime; and the conjecture related to A219055 implies that any integer n>1600 not among 2729 and 4006 can be written as x+y (0<x<=y<n) with 2x-3, 2x+3, 2y-3 and 2y+3 all prime.

a(9)=1 since 9=2+7 with 6*2-1, 6*2+1, 6*7-1 and 6*7+1 all prime.
