Comments

A magic square of order n = 2k is most-perfect if the following two conditions hold: (i) every 2 X 2 subsquare (including wrap-around) sums to 2T; and (ii) any pair of elements at distance k along a diagonal or a skew diagonal sums to T, where T = S/k, S is the magic constant.
All most-perfect magic squares are pandiagonal.
All pandiagonal magic squares of order 4 are most-perfect, see A191533.
The magic constants of most-perfect magic squares of order 6 composed of distinct primes see A258755.
The minimal magic constant of most-perfect magic square of order 8 composed of distinct primes corresponds to a(1) = 24024, see A258082.
It seems that only the first term, or possibly the first two terms, have been proved to be correct. The other terms are conjectural (that is, there may be missing terms). - N. J. A. Sloane, Jul 28 2015
