Table of n, a(n) for n=1..38.

Gus Wiseman, Sequences counting and ranking multiset partitions whose part lengths, sums, or averages are constant or strict.

Example

a(7) = 6 since we have 1234567, 16/25/34/7, 167/2345, 257/1346, 347/1256, 356/1247.
From Gus Wiseman, Jul 13 2019: (Start)
The a(6) = 2 through a(9) = 11 set partitions with equal block-sums:
