Numbers that are the sum of the squares of their prime factors

Giorgos Kalogeropoulos has found 3 such numbers, each having more than 100 digits.
You can find these numbers if you follow the links in the comments of OEIS A339062 & A338093

So, such numbers exist! It is an open question if there are infinitely many of them...

Here is a suggestion:

For a start one could investigate under which assumptions about the sizes of $n$ and real variables $x_k\geq2$ $\>(1\leq k\leq n)$ an equality $$\prod_{k=1}^n x_k=\sum_{k=1}^n x_k^2$$ is at all possible.

Maple confirms that $A$ and $B$ are prime, and that $N$ is a solution to the question. $N$ has 179 digits.
$$N=45AB\\ A=(C^{107}+D^{107})/(C+D)\\ B=(C^{109}+D^{109})/(C+D)\\ C=(\sqrt{47}+\sqrt{43})/2\\ D=(\sqrt{47}-\sqrt{43})/2$$ The general solution to $3^2+3^2+5^2+A^2+B^2=3×3×5×A×B$ is a sequence with recursion $$a_{n+1}=45a_n-a_{n-1}$$ The basic equation is a quadratic in any of the prime factors. The roots of the quadratic add up to the product of the rest of the prime factors. That is an easy way to generate solutions to $\sum x_i^2=\prod x_i$, although the $x_i$ might not be prime.
The starting point for this solution was $1,1,3,3,4$. Replace $4$ by $1×1×3×3-4=5$, then alternately replace the first factor $A$ by $B×3×3×5-A$ and the second factor $B$ by $A×3×3×5-B$.
Another starting point might be $1,1,1,2,2,2,3$ but I haven't found a prime solution from that.
