%e For n=6, there are 8 strings S that satisfy the condition:

%e 222222, k=6, Y=2

%e 223223, k=2, Y=223

%e 232232, k=2, Y=232

%e 232323, k=3, Y=23

%e and 4 more by exchanging 2 and 3. Note that 233233 with k=2 is not on the list, because we could choose X empty, Y=233 or X=2332, Y=3, and the latter avoids taking X to be empty.

%Y Cf. A216730, A216952.
