Weak even Goldbach conjecture for sums of consecutive progression terms

From papers

Let A(p,q)A(p,q) be the arithmetic progression whose first two terms are the odd primes pp and qq, and let Sm(p,q)S_m(p,q) denote the sum of its first mm terms. For each positive integer nn,

S2n(p,q)=n((2n1)q(2n3)p).S_{2n}(p,q)=n((2n-1)q-(2n-3)p).

Weak even Goldbach conjecture. For each even positive integer a>2a>2, there exist a positive integer nn and odd primes pp and qq such that

a=S2n(p,q)=n((2n1)q(2n3)p).a=S_{2n}(p,q)=n((2n-1)q-(2n-3)p).

This extends the two-term formulation of even Goldbach's conjecture to sums of an arbitrary positive even number of initial terms of such arithmetic progressions. The source reports heuristic and computational motivation but no proof.
