If one takes the row polynomials as R(n, x) = Sum_{m=0..n} T(n, m)*x^(2*m+1), n >= 0, Jacobi's elliptic sn(u|k) function in terms of the new variables v and q becomes sn(u|k) = Sum_{n>=0} R(n, x)*q^n, if one replaces in R(n, x) x^j by sin(j*v).
v=v(u,k^2) and q=q(k^2) are computed with the help of A038534/A056982 for (2/Pi)*K and A002103 for q expanded in powers of (k/4)^2.
A test for sn(u|k) with u = 1, k = sqrt(1/2), that is v approximately 0.8472130848 and q approximately 0.04321389673, with rows n=0..10 (q powers not exceeding 10) gives 0.8030018002 to be compared with sn(1|sqrt(1/2)) approximately 0.8030018249.
For the derivation of the Fourier series formula of sn given in Abramowitz-Stegun (but there the notation sn(u|m=k^2) is used for sn(u|k)) see, e.g., Whittaker and Watson, p. 511 or Armitage and Eberlein, Exercises on p. 55.
For the cn expansion see A274661.

T(4, 0) = 2 from the x^1 term in b(0, x)*a(4) + b(2, x)*a(2) + b(4, x)*a(0), that is x^1*3 + x^1*(-2) + x^1*1 = +2*x^1.
n=4: R(4, x) = 2*x^1 + 1*x^3 - 2*x^5 + 0*x^7 + 1*x^9, that is the sn(u|k) contribution of order q^4 in the new variables v and q is (2*sin(1*v) + 1*sin(3*v) - 2*sin(5*v) + 1*sin(9*v))*q^4.
