[Empirical] a(base,n)=a(base-1,n)+9^(n-1) for base>=4n-3; a(base,n)=a(base-1,n)+9^(n-1)-2 when base=4n-4.
FORMULA
Conjectures from Colin Barker, May 31 2017: (Start)
G.f.: (1 + 3*x - 3*x^2 - 4*x^3 + x^4 + x^5) / (1 - 7*x - 3*x^2 + 6*x^3 + x^4 - x^5).
a(n) = 7*a(n-1) + 3*a(n-2) - 6*a(n-3) - a(n-4) + a(n-5) for n>5.
