%N Number of compositions of n with runs-resistance 2.

%C A composition of n is a finite sequence of positive integers with sum n.

%C For the operation of taking the sequence of run-lengths of a finite sequence, runs-resistance is defined as the number of applications required to reach a singleton.

%C These are non-constant compositions with equal run-lengths (A329738).
