sequences of consecutive primitive roots

Question

To mod $p=23,$ there are three sequences of two or more consecutive primitive roots. Namely $10,11$ and $14,15$ and $19,20,21.$ My question is whether there is a bound on the length of such sequences of consecutive primitive roots, or on the other hand is it the case that for any given $n$ there is a prime $p$ having a sequence of at least $n$ consecutive primitive roots.

Any reference about this is appreciated, as well as more examples of longer such sequences.

Edit: A search revealed a paper which purports that there are arbitrarily long sequences of consecutive primitive roots for sufficiently large primes $p.$ The techniques of the paper are over my head, though. So I'd appreciate a simpler approach.

Upto $19$ , the smallest primes and the start-point of the smallest run (if more than one run exists) can be calculated by the following PARI/GP - program : First column : length , second column : smallest prime , third column : smallest starting point

? f(p)={v=select(m->znorder(Mod(m,p))==p-1,[1..p-1]);d=1;maxi=1;for(j=2,length(v
),if(v[j]-v[j-1]==1,d=d+1);if(v[j]-v[j-1]<>1,d=1);if(d>maxi,maxi=d;stelle=j));ma
xi}
%24 = (p)->v=select(m->znorder(Mod(m,p))==p-1,[1..p-1]);d=1;maxi=1;for(j=2,lengt
h(v),if(v[j]-v[j-1]==1,d=d+1);if(v[j]-v[j-1]<>1,d=1);if(d>maxi,maxi=d;stelle=j))
;maxi
? for(l=2,19,q=2;while(f(q)<>l,q=nextprime(q+1));print(l,"   ",q,"   ",v[stelle-
l+1]))

For length $21$, I found :

21   10559   10537

and for length $22$ :

22   35279   35256

I did not find a prime with exactly length $20$ or length more than $22$ yet.
