COMMENTS
Symmetry and 2 X 2 block sums zero implies that the diagonal x(i,i) are equal modulo 2 and x(i,j) = (x(i,i)+x(j,j))/2*(-1)^(i-j).

FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 7*a(n-1) - 15*a(n-2) + a(n-3) + 33*a(n-4) - 28*a(n-5) - 12*a(n-6) + 16*a(n-7) + a(n-8) - 2*a(n-9).
Empirical g.f.: x*(13 - 60*x + 53*x^2 + 104*x^3 - 159*x^4 - 21*x^5 + 83*x^6 + x^7 - 10*x^8) / ((1 - x)*(1 - 2*x)*(1 - x - x^2)*(1 - 2*x - x^2)*(1 - x - 2*x^2 + x^3)). - Colin Barker, Jul 16 2018
