In the Koecher reference v_5(3) = (2/5)*(present value V(5,3)) = 0.192680709798338..., given there as (1/4)*log(5) - (1/(2*sqrt(5)))*log((1 + sqrt(5))/2) - (Pi/10)*sqrt((5 - 2*sqrt(5))/5).

FORMULA
Sum_{k>=0} 1/((5*n + 3)*(n + 1)) =: V(5,3) = ((5/2)*log(5) - (2*phi-1)*(log(phi) + (Pi/5)*sqrt(7-4*phi)))/4 = (1/2)*(-Psi(3/5) + Psi(1)) with the golden section phi =(1 + sqrt(5))/2 = A001622 with the digamma function Psi and Psi(1) = -gamma = A001620.
The partial sums of this series are given in A294828/A294829.
