a(n) = smallest k such that A000290(n+1) = A000290(n) + (A000290(n) mod k), or 0 if no such k exists.

COMMENTS
a(n) is the "weight" of squares (A000290).
The decomposition of squares into weight * level + gap is A000217(n) = a(n) * A184221(n) + A005408(n) if a(n) > 0.

EXAMPLE
For n = 1 we have A000290(n) = 1, A000290(n+1) = 4; there is no k such that 4 - 1 = 3 = (1 mod k), hence a(1) = 0.
For n = 5 we have A000290(n) = 25, A000290(n+1) = 36; 14 is the smallest k such that 36 - 25 = 11 = (25 mod k), hence a(5) = 14.
For n = 18 we have A000290(n) = 324, A000290(n+1) = 361; 41 is the smallest k such that 361 - 324 = 37 = (324 mod k), hence a(18) = 41.
