I don't see that. My result for n=8 was 45/8, as quoted in http://list.seqfan.eu/pipermail/seqfan/2016-April/016342.html. 
My results for n=0 to n=20 are
0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 4, 0, 4, 45/8, 6, 77/8, 12, 117/8, 14, 165/8, 24, 221/8, 34, 285/8, 48, 14739/256,
so I get S_1(17)=34.


The sequence of the number of tatami tilings of the 5x(2n+1) floor with 1 monomer is column m=1 of A272474:
3, 18 ,10, 8, 18, 24, 32, 52, 68, 100, 142, 196,...
