Not sure what they represent, but I figured out how to generate them...
take a rectangular region of Pascal's Triangle...
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
5 10 10 5 1
15 20 15 6 1
35 35 21 7 1
70 56 28 8
126 84 36
210 120
330
and multiply each term by the corresponding term in the
flipped around version of the rectangle...
330
120 210
36 84 126
8 28 56 70
1 7 21 35 35
1 6 15 20 15
1 5 10 10 5
1 4 6 4 1
1 3 3 1
1 2 1
1 1
1
The terms in the array behave like the terms
in a "weighted" Pascal's triangle, with the weights
shown in parentheses below...

Note that the weights beneath each term sum to 1.
