From Jianing Song, Jul 14 2018: (Start)
All rows have strong divisibility, that is, gcd(T(n,k_1),T(n,k_2)) = T(n,gcd(k_1,k_2)) holds for all k_1, k_2 >= 0.
Let E(n,m) be the smallest number l such that m divides T(n,l), we have: for odd primes p that are not divisible by n^2 + 4, E(n,p) divides p - ((n^2+4)/p) if p == 3 (mod 4) and (p - ((n^2+4)/p))/2 if p == 1 (mod 4). E(n,p) = p for odd primes p that are divisible by n^2 + 4. E(n,2) = 2 for even n and 3 for odd n. Here ((n^2+4)/p) is the Legendre symbol. A prime p such that p^2 divides T(n,E(n,p)) is called an n-Wall-Sun-Sun prime.
E(n,p^e) <= p^(e-1)*E(n,p) for all primes p. If p^2 does not divide T(n,E(n,p)), then E(n,p^e) = p^(e-1)*E(n,p) for all exponent e. Specially, for primes p >= 5 that are divisible by n^2 + 4, p^2 is never divisible by T(n,p), so E(n,p^e) = p^e as described above. E(n,m_1*m_2) = lcm(E(n,m_1),E(n,m_2)) if gcd(m_1,m_2) = 1.
Let pi(n,m) be the Pisano period of T(n,k) modulo m, i.e, the smallest number l such that T(n,k+1) == T(n,k) (mod m) holds for all k >= 0, we have: for odd primes p that are not divisible by n^2 - 4, pi(n,p) divides p - 1 if ((n^2+4)/p) = 1 and 2(p+1) if ((n^2+4)/p) = -1. pi(n,p) = 4p for odd primes p that are divisible by n^2 + 4. pi(n,2) = 2 even n and 3 for odd n.
pi(n,p^e) <= p^(e-1)*pi(n,p) for all primes p. If p^2 does not divide T(n,E(n,p)), then pi(n,p^e) = p^(e-1)*pi(n,p) for all exponent e. Specially, for primes p >= 5 that are divisible by n^2 + 4, p^2 is never divisible by T(n,p), so pi(n,p^e) = 4p^e as described above. pi(n,m_1*m_2) = lcm(pi(n,m_1),pi(n,m_2)) if gcd(m_1,m_2) = 1.
If n != 2, the largest possible value of pi(n,m)/m is 4 for even n and 6 for odd n. For even n, pi(n,p^e) = 4p^e; for odd n, pi(n,2p^e) = 12p^e, where p is any odd prime factor of n^2 + 4. For n = 2 it is 8/3, obtained by m = 3^e.
Let z(n,m) be the number of zeros in a period of T(n,k) modulo m, i.e., z(n,m) = pi(n,m)/E(n,m), then we have: z(n,p) = 4 for odd primes p that are divisible by n^2 + 4. For other odd primes p, z(n,p) = 4 if E(n,p) is odd; 1 if E(n,p) is even but not divisible by 4; 2 if E(n,p) is divisible by 4; see the table below. z(n,2) = z(n,4) = 1.
Among all values of z(n,p) when p runs through all odd primes that are not divisible by n^2 + 4, we have:
((n^2+4)/p)...p mod 8....proportion of 1.....proportion of 2.....proportion of 4
......1..........1......1/6 (conjectured)...2/3 (conjectured)...1/6 (conjectured)*
......1..........5......1/2 (conjectured)...........0...........1/2 (conjectured)*
......1.........3,7.............1...................0...................0
.....-1.........1,5.............0...................0...................1
.....-1.........3,7.............0...................1...................0
* The result is that among all odd primes that are not divisible by n^2 + 4, 7/24 of them are with z(n,p) = 1, 5/12 are with z(n,p) = 2 and 7/24 are with z(n,p) = 4 if n^2 + 4 is a twice a square; 1/3 of them are with z(n,p) = 1, 1/3 are with z(n,p) = 2 and 1/3 are with z(n,p) = 4 otherwise. [Corrected by Jianing Song, Jul 06 2019]
z(n,p^e) = z(n,p) for all odd primes p; z(n,2^e) = 1 for even n and 2 for odd n, e >= 3.

Removing the first (n=0) row of A352361 gives this sequence.
Row n is the n-metallonacci sequence.
T(n,k) is (for k>0) the number of tilings of a (k-1)-board (a board with dimensions (k-1) X 1) using unit squares and dominoes (with dimensions 2 X 1) if there are n kinds of squares available. (End)

FORMULA
T(n,k) = (((n + sqrt(n^2 + 4))/2)^k - ((n-sqrt(n^2 + 4))/2)^k)/sqrt(n^2 + 4), n >= 1, k >= 0. - Jianing Song, Jun 27 2018
For n >= 1, Sum_{i=1..k} 1/T(n,2^i) = ((u^(2^k-1) + v^(2^k-1))/(u + v)) * (1/T(n,2^k)), where u = (n + sqrt(n^2 + 4))/2, v = (n - sqrt(n^2 + 4))/2 are the two roots of the polynomial x^2 - n*x - 1. As a result, Sum_{i>=1} 1/T(n,2^i) = (n^2 + 4 - n*sqrt(n^2 + 4))/(2*n). - Jianing Song, Apr 21 2019
