There is no limit to this! The Green Tao theorem tells you that the sequence of prime numbers contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. This means that using $a+b\cdot n$ you can get as many primes as you want for some $a,b$ and consecutive values of $n$. But the theorem does not tell you how to find $a,b$. The longest known such sequence can be ...

The function with rule produces distinct primes for $n$ up to $25$. For proof, see the third bullet point on this list of prime number records. It is valid for $x=0,1,...,23$, so I substitute $n=x+2$ so that the set of valid inputs begins at $2$. The function is clearly strictly increasing and so the primes must be distinct. It is apparently the longest ...

Perhaps there is a slight trick to this one

For $n = 2, 3, 4, 5$, the function produces distinct prime numbers:

A solution (probably many more of them exist):

If I understood everything correctly, this solution is also acceptable. If not - it's still very interesting and simple one. It's valid for $n=0,1,2\dots,28$

Another solution is: The solutions correspond to:
