FORMULA
G.f. for row n: Sum_{k=0..A000931(n+5)-1} (x^{T(n-1,k)+T(n-2,k)} - 1)/(x-1) = Sum_{k=0..A000931(n+6)-1} T(n,k)*x^k for n>1 with T(0,0)=T(1,0)=1, where A000931 is the Padovan sequence.

ILLUSTRATION OF RECURRENCE.
Start out with row 0 and row 1 consisting of a single '1'.
To obtain any given row of this irregular triangle, first
sum the prior two rows term-by-term; for rows 7 and 8 we get:
[5,4,4,3,3,1,1] + [7,5,5,5,4,3,3,1,1] = [12,9,9,8,7,4,4,1,1].
Place markers in an array so that the number of contiguous markers
in each row correspond to the term-by-term sums like so:
--------------------------
12:o o o o o o o o o o o o
9: o o o o o o o o o - - -
9: o o o o o o o o o - - -
8: o o o o o o o o - - - -
7: o o o o o o o - - - - -
4: o o o o - - - - - - - -
4: o o o o - - - - - - - -
1: o - - - - - - - - - - -
1: o - - - - - - - - - - -
--------------------------
Then count the markers by columns to obtain the desired row;
here, the number of markers in each column yields row 9:
[9,7,7,7,5,5,5,4,3,1,1,1].
Continuing in this way generates all the rows of this triangle.
