FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 120*n^7 - 42*n^6 - 1158*n^5 + 6945*n^4 - 13980*n^3 + 13512*n^2 - 4887*n + 1.
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Sep 10 2018: (Start)
G.f.: x*(511 + 15083*x + 103401*x^2 + 256585*x^3 + 252785*x^4 + 16749*x^5 - 40313*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.
