FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = (841/180)*n^6 - (1/3)*n^5 - (19/36)*n^4 + (1/3)*n^3 - (103/90)*n^2 - 3*n.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jun 11 2018: (Start)
G.f.: 2*x^2*(136 + 684*x + 730*x^2 + 129*x^3 + 3*x^4) / (1 - x)^7.
a(n) = 7*a(n-1) - 21*a(n-2) + 35*a(n-3) - 35*a(n-4) + 21*a(n-5) - 7*a(n-6) + a(n-7) for n>7.
