FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = (1/2520)*n^7 + (17/180)*n^6 + (281/180)*n^5 + (64/9)*n^4 + (4927/360)*n^3 + (2303/180)*n^2 + (604/105)*n + 1.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Oct 16 2017: (Start)
G.f.: x*(42 + 7*x - 40*x^2 - 55*x^3 + 70*x^4 - 29*x^5 + 8*x^6 - x^7) / (1 - x)^8.
a(n) = 8*a(n-1) - 28*a(n-2) + 56*a(n-3) - 70*a(n-4) + 56*a(n-5) - 28*a(n-6) + 8*a(n-7) - a(n-8) for n>8.
