It is sequence A046933.
Here is a Maple program giving the first 100 terms.
seq(ithprime(n+1)-ithprime(n)-1,n=1..100);
0, 1, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 5, 1, 5, 3, 1, 3, 5, 5, 1, 5, 3, 1, 5, 3, 5,
7, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 13, 3, 5, 1, 9, 1, 5, 5, 3, 5, 5, 1, 9, 1,
3, 1, 11, 11, 3, 1, 3, 5, 1, 9, 5, 5, 5, 1, 5, 3, 1, 9, 13, 3,
1, 3, 13, 5, 9, 1, 3, 5, 7, 5, 5, 3, 5, 7, 3, 7, 9, 1, 9, 1,
5, 3, 5, 7, 3, 1, 3, 11, 7, 3, 7, 3, 5, 11, 1, 17, 5
