COMMENTS
Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 0.
We have verified this for n up to 10^8.
See also A301303 and A301314 for similar conjectures.

EXAMPLE
a(79) = 1 since 79 = 5^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 7^2 with 5^2 + 7*1^2 = 2^2*2^3.
a(323) = 1 since 323 = 3^2 + 1^2 + 12^2 + 13^2 with 3^2 + 7*1^2 = 2*2^3.
a(646) = 1 since 646 = 22^2 + 11^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 with 22^2 + 7*11^2 = 11^3.
a(815) = 1 since 815 = 9^2 + 5^2 + 15^2 + 22^2 with 9^2 + 7*5^2 = 2^2*4^3.
a(1111) = 1 since 1111 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 22^2 + 25^2 with 1^2 + 7*1^2 = 2^3.
a(2822) = 1 since 2822 = 2^2 + 0^2 + 3^2 + 53^2 with 2^2 + 7*0^2 = 2^2*1^3.
