why not load a text file containing a list of primes into a table?
eg: http://primes.utm.edu/lists/small/millions/
the largest prime pd can handle is less than 16.3M (24bit floating point
mantissa precision, pd-double could go a lot further), which makes just
over 1M primes.

or use them for reverb delay line times, etc

should be relatively trivial to translate to Lua or C, doing it in Pd
would be possible but boring and slow
