Smallest set of 13 (VladSh's) consecutive primes:
s=prime(1785277..1785289)={28751809, 28751851, 28751857, 28751873, 28751893, 28751903, 28751929, 28751941, 28751969, 28751977, 28752007, 28752019, 28752037},
12 corresponding smallest primes q(k) between (1/2)s(k) and (1/2)s(k+1):
q(k=1..12)={14375923, 14375927, 14375929, 14375939, 14375947, 14375957, 
 14375969, 14375981, 14375987, 14376001, 14376007, 14376013};
 indices of these primes q:
 {932933, 932934, 932935, 932936, 932937, 932938, 932939, 932940, 932942, 932943, 932944, 932945} 
 that is in all cases (except for 8th interval ) there is only one intermedate prime q;
 in the 8th interval (28751941/2, 28751969/2) there are 2 primes q: 14375981 and 14375983.

 I suggest that longer sets are possible.

Disclaimer: no warranty though I guess it's OK,
Zak Seidov

PS I have several sets of lengths 11, 12 and 13, in case of any interest.
