I find none with 8 < n < 10,000. I don't expect that any exist with larger n; the heuristic probability of finding one is less than 10^-17825.

How did you arrive at those figures?

For n <= 1e4: direct search; for n > 1e4: numerical integration.

The same technique suggests about 4.9 below 1e4, which is a pretty good estimate (there are 6).

What are the odds of a 210-digit odd number being a p105 * p105?

I'm guessing from 0.001% to 0.1%.

An easy upper bound is 0.00155%. A closer analysis gets 0.00127419%, though my calculations on the latter assume the Riemann hypothesis.

There's those unproven conjectures again..

Thus my first answer, which does not assume it. I could have given a better unconditional answer, but that would be too much work.

Hopefully it would be accurate..
