COMMENTS
The De Geest link calls these smoothly undulating palindromic primes. Corresponding n are given in A062209. Equivalently, primes of the form 1212...121: Decimal digits "12" repeated k times with 1 appended (or "21" repeated k times with 1 prefixed). Corresponding k are given in A056803. The next term, a(4), has "12" repeating A056803(4) = 69 times and length A062209(4) = 2*A056803(4) + 1 = 139 decimal digits.
FORMULA
a(n) = (4*10^A062209(n)-7)/33. - M. F. Hasler, Jul 30 2015
