COMMENTS
In the first 100000 terms, this never exceeds 8. For any n > 2, a(n) will be at least 2, since k=n-1 and k=n-2 will both work.
Conjecture: for n > 2, a(n) appears to be equal to 1 + A067148(n).

EXAMPLE
For n=2, the single solution is the third term of the Fibonacci sequence (k=1), so a(2)=1.
For n=3, we observe the value as the fourth term for k=1, and the third term for k=2 for a total count of a(3) = 2.
For n=4, we have k=2 and k=3, so a(4) = 2.
For n=5, we have k=1, k=3, k=4.
