I'm no expert, but I suspect you should carefully check to see if some of
the comments already there are essentially "isomorphic" to your "stroke"
definition. For example I'm not sure how your "perfect di-graph" and the
"bipartite graphs" or "2 covers" mentioned in the comments might be
related. If it's really a fresh new way for the sequence to arise then of
course a comment is good.

The definition seems OK but it's also kind of long. This makes it a tough
call. I would advise doing a little more thinking and research before
submitting it. It's possible that you can create a more succinct
statement, either by some new insight on your part, or by using some more
compact or "standard" nomenclature that's used elsewhere (such as in the
graph theory literature).
Unfortunately sometimes there's an interesting construction or "mini
theory" behind a sequence that's really too complicated to make a good OEIS
entry.
This is exacerbated if there are several related sequences, because then
they ALL require this information. (Sometimes you can pick a "fundamental"
sequence in the bunch, put the explanation there and use cross references
for the rest. But other times it's too complicated or there really isn't
any good choice for a "main" sequence.)
I think the best solution then is to author an independent explanation,
either for publication or as a private web page, and link to it in the OEIS
comment, for example "Maximal numbers of strokes on Kd_n, see
