COMMENTS
Generally (for p>1), partial sums of the binomial coefficients C(p*n,n) are asymptotic to (1/(1-(p-1)^(p-1)/p^p)) * sqrt(p/(2*Pi*n*(p-1))) * (p^p/(p-1)^(p-1))^n.

FORMULA
Recurrence: 3*n*(3*n-2)*(3*n-1)*a(n) = (283*n^3 - 411*n^2 + 182*n - 24)*a(n-1) - 8*(2*n-1)*(4*n-3)*(4*n-1)*a(n-2).
a(n) ~ 2^(8*n+17/2)/(229*sqrt(Pi*n)*3^(3*n+1/2)).
