I don't understand your last sequence " Primes having an  r>1.” For large prime p,  the next prime q and a number r>1, the interval (r*p,r*q) in average has length r*ln(p). Therefore, if  not to fix r, then every

prime is a potential candidate to your sequence for a some value of r. In my conjecture (in comment to A195325) a key word is "least". I noted that the number of the first r-gap primes for r=2,3,...which are lesser's of twin primes on average grows with r
and posed this conjecture. After Charles’s check up to r=10^10 there is a more certainty that it is true.

Best regards,
Vladimir
