See a comment on V-V and V-S at A249246.
The overlap rules for the expansion are: (i) overlap within generation is allowed. (ii) overlap of different generations is prohibited.
There are a total of 16 combinations as shown in the table below:
+-------------------------------------------------------+
| Even n-th version V-V S-V V-S S-S |
+-------------------------------------------------------+
| Odd n-th version |
+-------------------------------------------------------+
Note: V-V = vertex to vertex, S-V = side to vertex,
V-S = vertex to side, S-S = side to side.

FORMULA
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Sep 10 2015: (Start)
a(n) = a(n-2)+a(n-8)-a(n-10) for n>10.
G.f.: (7*x^10+3*x^9+14*x^8+3*x^7+15*x^6+12*x^5+15*x^4+9*x^3+8*x^2+3*x+1) / ((x-1)^2*(x+1)^2*(x^2+1)*(x^4+1)).
