A permutation is said to be Grassmannian if it has at most one descent. The definition for sigma is a pattern of size 9 with exactly one descent. For example, sigma can be chosen to be 124793568, 248135679, 367912458, 591234678, etc.

FORMULA
a(n) = 1 + Sum_{i=2..8} binomial(n,i).
G.f.: (1-8*x+29*x^2-61*x^3+81*x^4-69*x^5+37*x^6-11*x^7+2*x^8)/(1-x)^9.
a(n) = (n^8-20*n^7+210*n^6-1064*n^5+3969*n^4-4340*n^3+15980*n^2-14736*n+40320)/8!. - Alois P. Heinz, Apr 21 2023
