Yes, I am referring to size of sieved file, and that was my overlook. If I replace 96 with 6 then sieve size is lower, and then fits better in "plan"
Thanks for pointing to my error

I have one question: in my little experiment above S5 base conjuncture I found few candidates that have many primes predicted up to 1M but I found one or two. Also on base 10 (-1, repdigit) I have two candidates that have 50% of predicted primes in range.
So my question is: ( will that) primes appear sometime in future or I can forget it.
I am aware that if predicted is 15 primes and I until 800K have only 8, that I will not find 7 more in range 800K - 1M, but will next ranges will have "better chance" for finding prime, because all those primes that are not shown in predicted range.

No. It is the usual gambler's fallacy to think that.

So, it look like I am magnet for unusual sequences
