FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = (5/126)*n^7 + (233/180)*n^6 + (1073/180)*n^5 - (85/18)*n^4 - (89/36)*n^3 + (617/180)*n^2 - (177/70)*n + 1.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Sep 14 2018: (Start)
G.f.: x*(2 + 177*x + 566*x^2 - 405*x^3 - 268*x^4 + 121*x^5 + 8*x^6 - x^7) / (1 - x)^8.
a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 28*a(n-2) + 56*a(n-3) - 70*a(n-4) + 56*a(n-5) - 28*a(n-6) + 8*a(n-7) - a(n-8) for n>8.
