%N Number of distinct sets of lengths of nonempty palindrome prefixes, over all binary words of length n.
%e For n = 4, the 6 possible sets are:
%e {1}, corresponding to 0111.
%e {1,2}, corresponding to 0011.
%e {1,3}, corresponding to 0101.
%e {1,4}, corresponding to 0110.
%e {1,2,3}, corresponding to 0001.
%e {1,2,3,4}, corresponding to 0000.
