Comments

It is possible the procedure described would generate some left-truncatable primes (A024785). Although zero digits cannot be added, it is possible the starting prime may contain zeros. Therefore the possible number of digit additions is not limited by the length of the largest known left-truncatable prime. Further, because the smallest digit that satisfies the requirement is used each time, it is possible that choosing a larger digit would allow more single digits to be added. Therefore although some of the set of left-truncatable primes may be generated by this practice, not all of them will.
In principle it is possible that some a(n) is undefined because the process could go on indefinitely, but this is very unlikely. The largest a(n) for n <= 300000 is a(49120) = 18. - Robert Israel, Jun 29 2015

Examples

			a(2) is 5 because the second prime is 3, to which single nonzero digits can be prepended 5 times yielding a new prime each time (giving preference to the smallest digit that satisfies the requirement): 13, 113, 2113, 12113, 612113 (see A053583). There is no nonzero digit which can be prepended to 612113 to yield a new prime.
a(21) = 14 because the 21st prime (73) can be prepended with single nonzero digits 14 times yielding a new prime each time: 73, 173, 6173, 66173, ..., 4818372912366173.

Examples

			a(3) = 5372126317 because 5372126317 is the last prime that can be generated by successively prepending nonzero digits to A101117(3). A101117(3) is 7. A101116(3) indicates that 9 digits can be successively prepended to 7 generating a new prime each time. Doing so and giving preference to the smallest digit which meets the requirement, generates the following primes: 17, 317, 6317, 26317, 126317, 2126317, 72126317, 372126317, 5372126317.
