COMMENTS
A maximum-diversity partition of n is an integer partition whose part distribution maximizes the number of different compositions (=distinct partition orderings) that can be constructed from it.
An integer composition of n corresponds to a subgroup of the symmetric group on n element whose cycles are formed of contiguous integers.

EXAMPLE
For n=17, there are 3 partitions reaching the maximum possible of 7!/2 =2520 distinct orderings : {4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1}, {4, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1} and {3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}.
