Example

a(5) = 1 since 5 = 1 + 1 + 3 is the only representation as a minimal number of three triangular numbers.
a(16) = 2 since 16 = 1 + 15 = 6 + 10 has two representations as a minimal number of two triangular numbers.

Mathematica

t[n_] := n (n + 1)/2; a[n_] := Block[{k = 1, t, tt = t /@ Range[ Sqrt[2*n]]}, While[{} == (r = IntegerPartitions[n, {k}, tt]), k++]; Length@r]; Array[a, 100] (* Giovanni Resta, Jun 09 2015 *)
