FORMULA

a(n) = (A014076(n+1)-A014076(n))/2 = A067970(n)/2.

EXAMPLE

The smallest odd numbers which are not prime are 1, 9, 15, 21, 25, 27,... (sequence A014076).

The gaps between these are: 8, 6, 6, 4, 2,... (sequence A067970), which are of course all even by construction, so it makes sense to divide all of them by 2, which yields this sequence: 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, ...
