They are all double binomial sums, but can be reduced to single sums using
Zeilberger's algorithm. Dividing a(n) by c^n for c=32,54,128, or 864,
summing
over n, we obtain either 4/pi, 9*sqrt(3)/(4*pi), 8*sqrt(2)/(3*pi) or
18/(5*pi).

These are a fairly straightforward consequence of the assertion in S.14 of:

More on this soon...
