For n=3 we the a(3)=16 circles are computed by counting 3 the circles three in the positive x-y quadrant at (1,1),(1,2),(2,1). There By symmetry there are 4 quadrants and then 4 circles on the axis at (0,1),(1,0),(-1,0),(0,-1) giving 4*3+4 solutions.
For n=4 the a(4)=32 circles are similar to a(3) but there are additional circles in positive x-y quadrant circles are additionally at (1,3),(1,4),(3,1),(4,1),(2,3),(3,2) but not . There is no circle at (2,2) as it is occluded by the circle at (1,1).
Computed more terms. Responded to comments by editors. Added code to compute the sequence and an image of a(5).

A circle is visible if one can draw a ray from the origin to any point on the circle without first intersecting any other circles. There is no circle at the origin.
For n=3 we a(3)=16 circles by counting 3 in the positive x-y quadrant at (1,1),(1,2),(2,1). There are 4 quadrants and then circles at (0,1),(1,0),(-1,0),(0,-1) giving 4*3+4 solutions. For n=4 the positive x-y quadrant circles are additionally at (1,3),(1,4),(3,1),(4,1),(2,3),(3,2) but not at (2,2) as it is occluded by the circle at (1,1)

For n=5, the Farey sequence (completely reduced fractions between 0 and 1, with denominators less than or equal to n) is [0/1, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 2/5, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 1/1]. The distinct lengths between consecutive points are {1/5, 1/20, 1/12, 1/15, 1/10} so a(5) = 5.
a(n) is the number of distinct lengths between consecutive points when the interval [0, 1] is partitioned by of the rationals a/b where 0 < a < b < Farey sequence of order n.
For n=5, the distinct points on the unit interval are in order Farey sequence (completely reduced fractions between 0 and 1, with denominators less than or equal to n) is [0, /1, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 2/5, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 1/1]. The distinct lengths between consecutive points are {1/5, 1/20, 1/12, 1/15, 1/10} so a(5) = 5.
