No,  I think that is a totally wrong interpretation.

The definition is perfectly clear as stated.

To get a(n), look at the list of all the n-digit primes.
Suppose k is the maximum number of 2's of any number
on the list. Throw out any prime on the list
that does not contain k 2's. Then a(n) = maximal number that is left on the
list.
