Not directly. This says that at any point on the number line, if you go sufficiently farther down the number line, you can always find 2 primes whose difference is no more than 600. It is possible that the distance between such groups gets arbitrarily large (at an arbitrarily fast rate) as you go down the number line.
Having said that, the primes do have a known density, given by the Prime Number Theorem [1]. This theorem states that the number of primes less then x is x/ln(x), as x approaches infinity.
