COMMENTS
For n >= 1, row sums are given by A152061.
Conjecture: T(n,n+1) = 1 if and only if n is a Mersenne prime (A000668).
Conjecture: T(2*n,2) = n.
Conjecture: T(2*n,3) = (n^2 - n)/2 for n >= 1.

The T(6,4) = 2 degree-6 polynomials over Z/2Z with k=4 nonzero terms are
1 + x^2 + x^4 + x^6 = (1 + x^2)^3 = (1 + x + x^2 + x^3)^2, and
x^3 + x^4 + x^5 + x^6 = (x + x^2)^3.
