Puzzle 800. A nice numbers sequence.

Abhiram R. Devesh sent the following nice puzzle.

I would like to propose a special prime that is formed by concatenating odd numbers on the right of "1" and even numbers on the left of "1".
 
Examples.
 
a) for n=3, the number generated is 213 (Not Prime)
 
b) for n=6, the number generated is 642135 (Not Prime)

c) The first prime is generated for n=121 (255 digit long)

For n<=4500 the other only solution I found is n=1399 with length 4489.
