We are given three integers $a, b$, and $c$ such that $a, b, c, a+b−c, a+c−b,
b + c − a$, and $a + b + c$ are seven distinct primes. Let $d$ be the difference
between the largest and smallest of these seven primes. Suppose that $800$ is
an element in the set {$a+b, b+c, c+a$}. Determine the maximum possible
value of $d$.
