Illustration for n = 5:
The free polyominoes with five cells are also called free pentominoes.
For k = 0 there is only one free pentomino having no regions into its bounding box as shown below, so T(5,0) = 1.

For k = 1 there are four free pentominoes having only one region into their bounding boxes as shown below, so T(5,1) = 4.

For k = 2 there are five free pentominoes having two regions into their bounding boxes as shown below, so T(5,2) = 5.
