Conjecture: a(n) <= 18 = a(326).
a(m) = 0 for m in A047845. - Michel Marcus, Aug 16 2022
I conjecture the opposite: a(n) is unbounded, and indeed for any k < 1 and any m there are >> x^k terms up to x with a(n) > m. At a very rough guess, there should be some n with 20-50 digits having a(n) > 18. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Oct 26 2022

Examples

			For n=1 we have 1^2+2*1=3 and 3^2+2*1=11 are prime but 5^2+2*1=27 is not, and thus a(1)=2.
For n=2, 1^2+2*2=5 ... 7^2+2*2=53 are prime but 9^2+2*2=85 is not, thus a(2)=4.
For n=3, 1^2+2*3=7 is prime but 3^2+2*3=15 is not thus a(3)=1.
For n=4, 1^2+2*4=9 which is not prime, thus a(4)=0.
