Charles, this is a great idea. I've tested all 2-pseudoprimes below
2^64 and found only three new terms:

54745942917121 = 13365708720*2^12 + 1
51125767490519041 = 12481876828740*2^12 + 1
18314818035992494081 = 69865486282320*2^18 + 1

I've also found one new large term:
32768*2^16369 + 1

Regards,
Max
