FORMULA
Empirical (for n>=8): 147*n^4/2 - 1355*n^3 + 18985*n^2/2 - 29703*n + 34996. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 30 2012
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Mar 23 2018: (Start)
G.f.: x^5*(1 + 535*x + 1430*x^2 - 3022*x^3 + 5865*x^4 - 4405*x^5 + 1564*x^6 - 204*x^7) / (1 - x)^5.
a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 10*a(n-2) + 10*a(n-3) - 5*a(n-4) + a(n-5) for n>12.
