FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 5*a(n-1) + 92*a(n-2) - 56*a(n-3) - 920*a(n-4) + 192*a(n-5) + 1152*a(n-6) for n>7.
Empirical g.f.: x*(8000 - 39625*x - 729580*x^2 + 444304*x^3 + 7280536*x^4 - 1517376*x^5 - 9097344*x^6) / (1 - 5*x - 92*x^2 + 56*x^3 + 920*x^4 - 192*x^5 - 1152*x^6). - Colin Barker, Aug 18 2018
