FORMULA

T(n, k) = 7 * (720*A198914(n,k) - 360*A198982(n,k) - 240*A198906(n,k) - 90*A198715(n,k) - 24*A207997(n,k) - 5) for n*k > 1. - Andrew Howroyd, Jun 27 2017

Empirical for column k:

k=1: a(n) = 7*a(n-1).

k=2: a(n) = 43*a(n-1).

k=3: a(n) = 270*a(n-1) - 1547*a(n-2).

k=4: a(n) = 1689*a(n-1) - 108775*a(n-2) + 1672631*a(n-3).

k=5: a(n) = 10754*a(n-1) - 8060499*a(n-2) + 2219242223*a(n-3) - 245682627864*a(n-4) + 5798947687589*a(n-5) + 448113231493438*a(n-6) - 2763020698450992*a(n-7).
