A079022 Suppose p and q = p + 2*n are primes. Define the difference pattern of (p, q) to be the successive differences of the primes in the range p to q. There are a(n) possible difference patterns.
1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 14, 15, 17, 49, 56, 51, 175, 150, 148, 666, 581, 561, 1922, 1449

Examples
n=4, d=8: there are five difference patterns: [8], [6,2], [2,6], [2,4,2], [2,2,4]. The last pattern is singular with prime 4-tuple {p=3,5,7,11=q}.
