Comments

A recursion exists for coefficients, but is too complicated to process without a computer algebra system.

Mathematica

n = 28; a[x_] = Sum[c[k] k! x^k, {k, 1, n, 2}];
sa = Series[a[x], {x, 0, n}];
coes = CoefficientList[ComposeSeries[sa, sa] - Series[ArcTan[x], {x, 0, n}], x] // Rest;
eq = Reduce[((# == 0) & /@ coes)]; Table[c[k] k!, {k, 1, n, 2}] /. First[Solve[eq]] // Denominator
