%N Number of ways to tile an n X n square using rectangles with distinct dimensions where all the rectangle edge lengths are prime numbers.

%C All possible tilings are counted, including those identical by symmetry. Note that distinct dimensions means that, for example, a 2 X 3 rectangle can only be used once, regardless of whether it lies horizontally or vertically.

%e a(2), a(3), a(5), a(7), a(11) = 1 as the only possible tiling is that using an n X n square where n is a prime number. It is likely 11 is the last prime indexed term that equals 1 although this is unknown.

%e a(10) = 4128. And example tiling is:
