EXAMPLE
a(6)=10 because we have (12346)5, (12356)4, (12456)3, (13456)2, (23456)1, 6(12345), 5(12346), 4(12356), 3(12456) and 2(13456), where the parentheses surround increasing runs of length 5.
MATHEMATICA
b[u_, o_, t_, k_] := b[u, o, t, k] = If[t == k, (u + o)!, If[Max[t, u] + o < k, 0, Sum[b[u + j - 1, o - j, t + 1, k], {j, 1, o}] + Sum[b[u - j, o + j - 1, 1, k], {j, 1, u}]]]; T[n_, k_] := b[0, n, 0, k] - b[0, n, 0, k + 1]; a[n_] := T[n, 5]; Array[a, 25] (* Jean-François Alcover, Feb 08 2016, after Alois P.
