Sequences must have 4 significative terms to be in the OEIS. And you must
write down a proper definition of what the terms are.
In this particular case this is even more uncalled for as so many sequences
starts that way.

You should learn a programming language to test your ideas further.
This fails first for 44
529, 533, 535 and 539 are all composites.
But the sequence of numbers failing your conditions
44, 70, 72, 74, 105, 111, 112, 132, 137, 140, 147, ... is apparently not in
the OEIS
As there are arbitrary large prime gaps, any such system is probably doomed.
