EXAMPLE
The a(4)=6 sums that add to 4 are 4, 3+1, 2+2, 2+1+1, 1+1+2 and 1+1+1+1. The 2 = 2^(n-1)-a(n) sums 1+2+1 and 1+3 do not satisfy the criterion and do not count.
From Joerg Arndt, May 21 2013: (Start)
The a(6)=17 such compositions are
01: [ 1 1 1 1 1 1 ]
02: [ 1 1 1 1 2 ]
03: [ 1 1 2 1 1 ]
04: [ 1 1 2 2 ]
05: [ 1 1 3 1 ]
06: [ 1 1 4 ]
07: [ 2 1 1 1 1 ]
08: [ 2 1 2 1 ]
09: [ 2 1 3 ]
10: [ 2 2 2 ]
11: [ 3 1 1 1 ]
12: [ 3 1 2 ]
13: [ 3 3 ]
14: [ 4 1 1 ]
15: [ 4 2 ]
16: [ 5 1 ]
17: [ 6 ]
