Below are 2 different sequences, but the rules are the same,
2, 3, 3, 9, 9, ?
3, 7, 3, 3, 7, 9, ?
determine the two missing numbers and find the rule,
Bonus. how far can each sequence go? Can you find a longer sequence of numbers that follow the same rule?

UBASIC program and complete list by Charlie)
As the ends of the branches contain all the information leading to them, there's no point in showing all the steps that lead to one end of a branch, so here is a cleaner complete list:

made with the modified UBASIC program:
10 for S=1 to 9
20 gosub *Build(S)
30 next
40 end
100 *Build(N)
101 local J
110 if nxtprm(N-1)=N then
120 :if nxtprm(10*N)>10*N+10 then print N:endif
130 :for J=1 to 9 step 2
140 :gosub *Build(N*10+J)
150 :next
170 return
