COMMENTS
One-plane symmetric diagonal Latin squares are vertically or horizontally symmetric diagonal Latin squares. a(n) is equal to 2*X-Y, where X is the number of horizontally symmetric diagonal Latin squares (sequence A292516), and Y is the number of doubly symmetric diagonal Latin squares (sequence A292517).
