COMMENTS
Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n >= 2480.
(ii) If n > 4368 then 2*n+1 can be written as 2*p + q with p and q terms of the sequence A234695.
Parts (i) and (ii) are stronger than Goldbach's conjecture (A045917) and Lemoine's conjecture (A046927) respectively.
EXAMPLE
a(8) = 1 since 2*8 = 5 + 11 with 5, 11, prime(5) - 5 + 1 = 7 and prime(11) + 11 + 1 = 43 all prime.
MATHEMATICA
p[n_] := PrimeQ[n] && PrimeQ[Prime[n] - n + 1];
q[n_] := PrimeQ[n] && PrimeQ[Prime[n] + n + 1];
a[n_] := Sum[If[p[k] && q[2 n - k], 1, 0], {k, 1, 2 n - 1}];
Table[a[n], {n, 1, 100}]
