I do see a notation that a later member of one of the sequences, A055233, Composite numbers equal to the sum of the primes from their smallest prime factor to their largest prime factor,

does in fact satisfy the requirements of the present puzzle. To quote the OEIS,  Its sixth member a(6): 454539357304421 is the product of two primes, 3536123 * 128541727 and also the sum of these two plus all the primes in between: 3536123 + 3536129 + 3536131 + ... + 128541719 + 128541727.

even though that sequence's fifth member,  2935561623745 = 5*19*53*61* 9557887, is not a semiprime and therefore doesn't fit this puzzle.
