In A059573 there is a claim that the 5 tetrominoes can be
filled in T(4,2)=8 ways "as completely as possible" with 1x2
dominoes. How is this count of 8 obtained? I may get 9
configurations if I allow some of the tilings to be incomplete,
using D for a square covered by a domino and o for a free square:
1 count for the block 4-omino:

2 ways (one incomplete) for the L shaped:
