Trivial upper bound: a(n) <= (2^n)!.
Number of linear extensions of the Boolean lattice 2^n. - Mitch Harris, Dec 27 2005
The number of vertices in the representation of all linear extensions in a distributive lattice are the Dedekind numbers (A000372) and the number of edges constitutes A118077. - Oliver Wienand, Apr 11 2006
A lower bound is A051459(n) = Product_{k=0..n} binomial(n,k)! <= a(n). - Geoffrey Critzer, May 20 2018

a(5) from Oliver Wienand, Apr 11 2006, using Python and an inference method for computing the set of linear extensions of arbitrary posets. Using the same method on a compute server generated a(6) on Dec 05 2010.
a(7) from J. Daniel Christensen, Feb 13 2017, based on Brouwer-Christensen work cited above, using C.
