The sequence is unbounded. To see this, note that the sets of parts (1,1,1,4) and (2,2,3) of a partition can be exchanged without affecting the value of the multinomial coefficient, because 1+1+1+4 = 2+2+3 and 1!*1!*1!*4! = 2!*2!*3!. In particular, a((7*k)!/24^k) >= k+1 from the partitions 7*k = (3*j)*1 + j*4 + (2*(k-j))*2 + (k-j)*3 for 0 <= j <= k.

EXAMPLE
a(6) = 3, because 6 can be written as a multinomial coefficient in 3 ways: 6 = 6!/(1!*5!) = 4!/(2!*2!) = 3!/(1!*1!*1!).
