not necessarily - you allow well that an infinite number of exponents
are zero and thus smaller than preceding exponents ; thus one could
well understand tacitly that only exponents of primes which DO occur
in the factorization are concerned by the restriction.

no: that seq says clearly "...the p_i are n successive primes" in the comment
which - I suppose - explains the "primally tight" in the definition.

Two recent additions to the OEIS spawn the following naive questions:
Is A141778 the same as A038977?
Is A141750 the same as A038957?
