FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 27*a(n-1) - 252*a(n-2) + 813*a(n-3) + 589*a(n-4) - 5250*a(n-5) - 2310*a(n-6) + 1764*a(n-7).
Empirical g.f.: x*(455 - 8970*x + 49869*x^2 - 12684*x^3 - 354270*x^4 - 131964*x^5 + 112896*x^6) / ((1 - 6*x)*(1 - 7*x)*(1 - 6*x - 6*x^2)*(1 - 8*x - 14*x^2 + 7*x^3)). - Colin Barker, Nov 29 2018
