A generalized arithmetic progression of primes (a GAP) is a set of integers of the form
a + n1b1 + n2b2 + ... + ndbd
with a, b1, b2, ..., bd fixed; and the n's run through some range. The table below shows the smallest 2-by-k GAP's (those with the least last term) for small k. When k is 9, the largest term is 5179.
k            GAP        Last Term
2          3+8i+2j             13
