Let us be clear. Either you conjecture this by yourself, and you should say
so or
you read about someone else conjecturing and you should give the source.

 For example:  A016910(1) = 36 = 5 + 7 + 11 + 13.

In general, there seems to be many solutions for each n.

For instance, before writing this email, I checked up to n=40 that there
was at least one solution for each n, I looked into the sequence of the
number of solutions
to check if it was recorded in the OEIS (it is not), etc.

As Giovanni already said, what your are discussing implies that there is
infinitely many twin primes.
You might read papers about this unsolved problem and also papers on
representations
of numbers by sums of primes, a very active topic, related to the Goldberg
conjecture and
its variants.
