I propose a solution for n (or K) = 10 : 25 triangle. Cf image attached.
It's one unit below the theoretic maximum (Floor[n(n-2)/3]) thus 26, like
for n=6 and 8. 

n=. . . . . . . 3 4 5 6 7  8  9  10 11 12 13 14 15
K(n): . . . . . 1 2 5 7 11 15 21 25 ?  ?  ?  ?  65
Max possible: . 1 2 5 8 11 16 21 26 33 40 47 56 65

Conjecture: 
-for n odd,     K(n)=the max. possible
-for n even >4, K(n)=the max.-1
