FORMULA
a(n) = Bell(n+1) - Sum_{j=0..7} binomial(n,j) * Bell(n-j).
a(n) = Sum_{j=0..n-8} binomial(n,j) * Bell(j).
E.g.f.: (exp(x) - Sum_{k=0..7} x^k/k!) * exp(exp(x) - 1). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jun 26 2022
MAPLE
b:= proc(n) option remember; `if`(n=0, 1, add(
b(n-j)*binomial(n-1, j-1), j=1..n))
end:
g:= proc(n, k) option remember; `if`(n<k, 0,
g(n, k+1) +binomial(n, k)*b(n-k))
end:
a:= n-> g(n, 8):
seq(a(n), n=8..30);
