It turns out that n[i] == 5342543 i + n[0].

n[i_?Positive]:=5342543+n[i-1]
n/@Range@5
5342543Range@5+n[0]

{5342543+n[0],10685086+n[0],16027629+n[0],21370172+n[0],26712715+n[0]}

{5342543+n[0],10685086+n[0],16027629+n[0],21370172+n[0],26712715+n[0]}

I calculated a few terms both ways and the answers agree.
