EXAMPLE
The number 28754 is one of the 4840 5-digit numbers because 2+7+4 = 8+5.
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = {nb = 0; for (i=0, 10^n-1, digs = digits(i, 10); while(#digs != n, digs = concat(0, digs)); so = 0; forstep(j=1, n, 2, so += digs[j]); se = 0; forstep(j=2, n, 2, se += digs[j]); if (se == so, nb++); ); return (nb); } \\ Michel Marcus, Jun 08 2013
