COMMENTS
Note that for each n there are only 2^(n-1) new sums to consider. For the number of distinct Fibonacci numbers, see A256221. For the largest generated Fibonacci number, see A256222. For the smallest Fibonacci number not generated, see A256223.

EXAMPLE
a(3) = 5 because we obtain 5 following subsets {1}, {1/2}, {1/3}, {1,1/2} and {1/2, 1/3} having 5 sums with Fibonacci numerators: 1, 1, 1, 1+1/2 = 3/2 and 1/2+1/3 = 5/6.
