Weak odd Goldbach conjecture for sums of consecutive progression terms

At least 6 years old · documented by

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+1(p,q)=(2n+1)(nq−(n−1)p).S_{2n+1}(p,q)=(2n+1)(nq-(n-1)p).

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

a=S2n+1(p,q)=(2n+1)(nq−(n−1)p).a=S_{2n+1}(p,q)=(2n+1)(nq-(n-1)p).

This is presented as the odd analogue of the weak even Goldbach conjecture, extending representations by two or more initial terms of prime-started arithmetic progressions. The source gives no proof or resolution.
