FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = (5887/180)*n^6 - (1013/60)*n^5 + (245/36)*n^4 - (35/12)*n^3 + (157/45)*n^2 - (6/5)*n.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, May 16 2018: (Start)
G.f.: 2*x*(11 + 748*x + 4576*x^2 + 5240*x^3 + 1167*x^4 + 32*x^5) / (1 - x)^7.
a(n) = 7*a(n-1) - 21*a(n-2) + 35*a(n-3) - 35*a(n-4) + 21*a(n-5) - 7*a(n-6) + a(n-7) for n>7.
