For the definition of "region of n" see A206437. For the definition of "last section of n" see A135010.
Apparently differs from A027300 at the right border.
FORMULA
T(n,k) = A000041(n) - A000041(n-k), if 1<k<n.
T(n,k) = A000041(n), if k = n.
T(n,k) = Sum_{j=1..k} A187219(n-j+1,1).
EXAMPLE
For n = 5 and k = 2 we have that the 4th shell of 5 contains two regions: [2] and [4,2,1,1,1]. Then we can see that the 5th shell of 5 contains two regions: [3] and [5,2,1,1,1,1,1]. Therefore the total number of regions in the last two shells of 5 is T(5,2) = 2+2 = 4 (see illustration in the link section).
