To compute a(n) we first write down 5^n 1's in a row. Each row takes the rightmost 5th part of the previous row and each element in it equals sum of the elements of the previous row starting with the first of the rightmost 5th part. The single element in the last row is a(n).

EXAMPLE
For example, for n=3 the array, from 2nd row, follows:
1..2..3.....14..15..16..17..18..19..20..21..22..23..24..25
........................................21..43..66..90.115
.......................................................115
Therefore a(3)=115.
