%N Number of integer partitions of 2n with reverse-alternating sum -2.
%C The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i. This is equal to (-1)^(r-1) times the number of odd parts, where r is the greatest part, so a(n) is the number of integer partitions of 2n with exactly two odd parts, neither of which is the greatest.
%C Also the number of reversed integer partitions of 2n with alternating sum -2.
%e The a(2) = 1 through a(6) = 14 partitions:
%e (31) (42) (53) (64) (75)
%e (3111) (3221) (3331) (4332)
