Assuming the sequence exists for all n it is unbounded so there are infinitely many records. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Oct 21 2014

%e A248498 a(1)=1 because 2+3=5 which is prime (only 1 prime added to 2 to get a prime).
%e A248498 a(2)=8 because 3+5+7+11+13+17+19+23+29=127 which is prime (8 consecutive primes added to 3), and all of the partial sums are composite.
