FORMULA
Empirical: T(n,k) is a polynomial of degree 4k+30 in n, for fixed k.
Let T(n,k,z) be the number of (n+2)X(k+2) 0..z arrays with each 3X3 subblock having rows and columns in lexicographically nondecreasing order.
Then empirically T(n,k,z) is a polynomial of degree z*k + z*(z+1)*(z+5)/6 in n, for fixed k.
