FORMULA
G.f.: (x^9 - x^8 + x^7 - 4*x^6 + x^5 - 3*x^4 - x^3 - 2*x^2 - 1) / (x^19 - x^18 - x^16 + 2*x^12 + x^10 - x^9 - 2*x^7 + x^3 + x - 1).
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 9 because there are 9 ways to divide a 4 X 5 rectangle into subsquares, considering only the list of parts: [20(1 X 1)], [16(1 X 1), 1(2 X 2)], [12(1 X 1), 2(2 X 2)], [11(1 X 1), 1(3 X 3)], [8(1 X 1), 3(2 X 2)], [7(1 X 1), 1(2 X 2), 1(3 X 3)], [4(1 X 1), 4(2 X 2)], [4(1 X 1), 1(4 X 4)], [3(1 X 1), 2(2 X 2), 1(3 X 3)]. There is no way to divide this rectangle into [2(1 X 1), 2(3 X 3)].
MAPLE
