All terms == {0, 1} (mod 4).
A square n^2 is the sum of k positive squares for all 1 <= k <= n^2 - 14 iff n^2 is the sum of 2 and 3 positive squares (see A309778 and proof in Kuczma) . Consequently this is a duplicate of A018820. - Bernard Schott, Aug 17 2019

EXAMPLE
169 = 13^2 = 5^2 + 12^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 + 12^2;
225 = 15^2 = 9^2 + 12^2 = 2^2 + 5^2 + 14^2.
