FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 66*a(n-1) - 1021*a(n-2) - 2244*a(n-3) - 1156*a(n-4) for n>5.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jan 30 2019: (Start)
G.f.: 8*x*(1 - x)^2*(1 + 116*x + 4*x^2) / ((1 + x)^2*(1 - 34*x)^2).
a(n) = (48*(-383214*(-1)^n - 2660911*34^n + 35*(363562*(-1)^n + 115797*34^n)*n)) / 210644875 for n>1.
