For the sequence of numbers n1,n2,n3,…n_{1}, n_{2}, n_{3}, \ldots, the relation ni=2ni−1+an_{i}=2 n_{i-1}+a holds for all i>1i>1. If n2=5n_{2}=5 and n8=257n_{8}=257, what is n5n_{5} ?

Original LaTeX notation
For the sequence of numbers $n_{1}, n_{2}, n_{3}, \ldots$, the relation $n_{i}=2 n_{i-1}+a$ holds for all $i>1$. If $n_{2}=5$ and $n_{8}=257$, what is $n_{5}$ ?
