The prime previous to 55469 is 55457. Between 55457/2 and 55469/2 is  
the prime 27733.
The prime after 55609 is 55619. Between 55609/2 and 55619/2 is the  
prime 27809.

I don't understand why the two either-end consecutive primes are being  
excluded here. This appears to be so as well for Vladimir's follow-up  
"a(2)=5, a(3)=79, a(4)=541, a(5)=6599, a(6)=10771".

The prime previous to 28751809 is 28751773. Between 28751773/2 and  
28751809/2 is the prime 14375899.
I'm going to guess that Zak's program searched for 13 intervals (i.e.,  
14 consecutive primes).
