Abuse of notation: we write T(n, L) for T(n, k), where L is the k-th partition of n in A-St order.
For any permutation (e_1,...,e_r) of the parts of L, T(n, L) is the number of chains of subspaces 0 < V_1 < ··· < V_r = (F_4)^n with dimension increments (e_1,...,e_r).

FORMULA
T(n, (n)) = 1. T(n, L) = A022168(n, e) * T(n - e, L \ {e}), if L is a partition of n and e < n is a part of L.
EXAMPLE
The number of subspace chains 0 < V_1 < V_2 < (F_4)^3 is 105 = T(3, (1, 1, 1)). There are 21 = A022168(3, 1) choices for a one-dimensional subspace V_1 and, for each of them, 5 = A022168(2, 1) extensions to a two-dimensional subspace V_2.
