FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = n^7 + 7*n^6 + 11*n^5 + 35*n^4 + 28*n^3 + 42*n^2 + 5*n - 1.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jan 24 2019: (Start)
G.f.: x*(128 + 865*x + 2418*x^2 + 1919*x^3 - 116*x^4 - 129*x^5 - 46*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.
