key generation question

Question:
Is it possible - and if so, how - to generate an RSA key in which the 
size of the key is a prime number? For example, a key size of 4013, 
4051, etc. ? Every time I try to use a prime number for the key size, 
PGP rounds the size up to a non-prime number. Why will it not 
generate a key of ANY size between 1024-4096?
