1. There is no such largest integer, integers can be infinitely large.
2. 1

The only number that is not the sum of 2 or more different primes is 1. (of course you must define 1 as a prime). If you refuse to consider 1 a prime, the answer is 3.
What does ne mean?

first of all, no one knows what the largest prime number is, therefore no one knows what the largest composite integer is of sum of the largest primes.
Second, I don't know what "ne" means in your second question, but if you mean "what is the only cube that is ONE less than a square?" then the answer is 2. Because 2^3 = 8 where as 3^2 = 9.

What kind of question is that? It suggests the largest number that is the sum of non-primes. The domain of non-primes is infinite, so to then is the their sum. It cannot be answered.

If I'm reading the question correctly, the cube of any number between 0 and 1 is less that the square of that number.
