COMMENTS

The number of polygons formed inside the rectangles is A306302(n), while the number of polygons formed outside the rectangles is 2*A332612(n+1).
The number of open regions, those outside the polygons with unbounded area and two edges that go to infinity, for n >= 1 is given by 2*n^2 + 4*n + 6 = A255843(n+1).
Like A306302(n) is appears only 3-gons and 4-gons are generated by the infinite lines.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = 2*A332612(n+1) + A306302(n) = 2*Sum_{i=2..n, j=1..i-1, gcd(i,j)=1} (n+1-i)*(n+1-j) + Sum_{i=1..n, j=1..n, gcd(i,j)=1} (n+1-i)*(n+1-j) + n^2 + 2*n.
a(n) = 2*n*(n+1) + 2*Sum_{i=2..n} (n+1-i)*(2*n+2-i)*phi(i). - Chai Wah Wu, Aug 21 2021

EXAMPLE
|
a(1) = 4 as connecting the four vertices of a single rectangle forms four triangles inside the rectangle. Twelve open regions outside these triangles are also formed.
a(2) = 20 as connecting the six vertices of two adjacent rectangles forms two quadrilaterals and fourteen triangles inside the rectangles while also forming four triangles outside the rectangles, giving twenty polygons in total. Twenty-two open regions outside these polygons are also formed.
See the linked images for further examples.
