%N Generalized Gerrymander sequence: number of ordered ways to divide an n X n square into two connected regions, both of area n^2/2 if n is even, or of areas (n^2-1)/2 and (n^2+1)/2 if n is odd.

%F a(2*n)/2 = A348456(n).
%e For n = 2, the square can be split vertically or horizontally, and then there are two ways to order the regions, so a(2) = 2*2 = 4.
%e For n = 3 we must choose a connected region of area 4 with a connected complement of area 5.
%e The possibilities are
%e XXO XXX XXX
%e XXO XOO OXO
%e OOO OOO OOO
%e 4 ways 8 ways 4 ways
%e so a(3) = 16.
%Y Cf. A348456.
