Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions suggests that average gaps between primes of the form 8k + 1 below x are about phi(8)*log(x). This sequence shows that the record gap ending at p grows almost as fast as phi(8)*log^2(p). Here phi(n) is A000010, Euler's totient function; phi(8)=4.
Conjecture: a(n) < phi(8)*log^2(A269426(n)) almost always.
A269425 lists the primes preceding the maximal gaps.
A269426 lists the corresponding primes at the end of the maximal gaps.

			The first two primes of the form 8k + 1 are 17 and 41, so a(1)=41-17=24. The next prime of this form is 73 and the gap 73-41=32 is a new record, so a(2)=32.
