A335967
Irregular table read by rows; if the binary representation of n encodes the last row of a tiling of a staircase polyomino, then the n-th row contains the numbers k whose binary representation encode possible penultimate rows.

COMMENTS
We consider tilings of staircase polyominoes as described in A335547, and encode rows of such tilings as described in A336479.
FORMULA
A336479(n) = Sum_{k = 1..A337131(n)} A336479(T(n, k)).
EXAMPLE
Triangle begins:
1: [0]
2: [1]
3: [1]
4: [2]
5: [2, 3]
6: [2]
7: [3]
8: [4]
9: [5]
10: [4, 5, 6, 7]
11: [5, 6]
12: [5]
13: [4, 5]
...
For n = 13, the binary representation of 13 is "1101", so we consider the tilings of a size 4 staircase polyomino whose base has the following shape:
.....
. .
. .....
. .
+---+ .....
| | .
| +---+---+---+
| 1 1 | 0 | 1 |
+-------+---+---+
There are two possible penultimate rows:
..... .....
. . . .
. ..... . .....
. | . . .
+---+ +---+ +---+---+---+
| 1 | 0 0 | | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| +---+---+---+ | +---+---+---+
| | | | | | | |
+-------+---+---+, +-------+---+---+
so the 13th row contains 4 and 5 ("100" and "101" in binary).
