The recurrence (chopping the first 2 terms) is
a(n)= 17*a(n-1) -136*a(n-2) +680*a(n-3) -2380*a(n-4) +6188*a(n-5) -12376*a(n-6)
         +19448*a(n-7) -24310*a(n-8) +24310*a(n-9) -19448*a(n-10) +12376*a(n-11)
         -6188*a(n-12) +2380*a(n-13) -680*a(n-14) +136*a(n-15) -17*a(n-16) +a(n-17)

and the associated g.f.

g := -(1+16676*x+8896356*x^2+259309552*x^3+2820215510*x^4+25650504616*x^6+

from which one can get a 16th order polynomial...

1+81/2*n+1890*n^3+837/2*n^2+28969/64*n^11+13065/128*n^12+1063/64*n^13+59/32*n^

*n^8+238843/64*n^9+11953/8*n^10+1/256*n^16
= 1+ n*(n^3+7*n^2+14*n+4)*(n+1)^3*(n+3)^4*(n+2)^5/256, n>1 (!)
