The sequence is the fifth row of the following array:
0, 6, 20, 42, 72, 110, 156, 210, 272, ... A002943
0, 3, 6, 15, 20, 35, 42, 63, 72, ... bisections A002943, A000466
0, 2, 3, 6, 12, 15, 20, 30, 35, ... A226023 (trisections A002943, A000466, A002439)
0, -15, -3, 2, 3, 6, -7, 5, 12, ... a(n)
0, -63, -15, -3, 2, 3, 6, -55, -7, ...
The principle of construction is that (i) the lower left triangular portion has constant values down the diagonals (6, 3, 2, -3, -15, ...), defined from row 4 on by the negated values of A024036. (ii) The extension along the rows is defined by maintaining bisections, trisections, quadrisections etc of the form (2*n+x)*(2*n+y) with some constants x and y. In the fifth line this needs the quintisections shown in the NAME.
Each row in the array has the subsequences of the previous row plus another subsequence of the format (2*n+1)*(2*n+y) shuffled in; the first A002943, the second also A000466, the third also A002439, the fourth also A078371, and the fifth (2*n+3)*(2*n-5).
Only the first three rows are monotonically increasing everywhere.
Numerators of: 0, -15/4, -3/4, 2/9, 3/16, 6/25, -7/36, 5/36, 12/49, 15/64, 20/81, ... = a(n)/A226096(n). A permutation of A225948(n+1)/A226008(n+1).
Is the sequence increasing monotonically from 221 on?

FORMULA

4*a(n) = A226096(n) - period 5: repeat [1, 64, 16, 1, 4].
G.f.: x*(15-12*x-5*x^2-x^3-3*x^4-17*x^5+12*x^6+3*x^7-x^8+x^9) / ( (x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1)^2 *(x-1)^3 ). - R. J. Mathar, Jun 13 2013
a(n) = a(n-1)+2*a(n-5)-2*a(n-6)-a(n-10)+a(n-11) for n > 10. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Oct 03 2017
