Illustration for n = 5:
The free polyominoes with five cells are also called free pentominoes.
For k = 0 there are six free pentominoes with length 3 and width 3 as shown below, thus the difference between length and width is 3 - 3 = 0, so T(5,0) = 6.

    |_|       |_|     |_|_|_|     |_|_|     |_|       |_|_|
.
For k = 1 there are two free pentominoes with length 3 and width 2 as shown below, thus the difference between length and width is 3 - 2 = 1, so T(5,1) = 2.

.
For k = 2 there are three free pentominoes with length 4 and width 2 as shown below, thus the difference between length and width is 4 - 2 = 2, so T(5,2) = 3.

  |_|_      |_|        |_|
  |_|_|     |_|        |_|
.
For k = 3 there are no free pentominoes whose difference between length and width is 3, so T(5,3) = 0.
For k = 4 there is only one free pentomino with length 5 and width 1 as shown below, thus the difference between length and width is 5 - 1 = 4, so T(5,4) = 1.

Therefore the 5th row of the triangle is [6, 2, 3, 0, 1] and the row sum is A000105(5) = 12.
Note that for n = 6 and k = 1 there are 15 free polyominoes with length 4 and width 3 thus the difference between length and width is 4 - 3 = 1. Also there is a free polyomino with length 3 and width 2 thus the difference between length and width is 3 - 2 = 1, so T(6,1) = 15 + 1 = 16.
