Mathematica

(1-x^n) Product[1-x^(2k), {k, 1, n-1}]/(1-x)^n // CoefficientList[#, y]& (* Jean-François Alcover, Mar 25 2020, from A162206 *)

Formula

The growth series for D_k is the polynomial f(k)*Prod_{i=1..k-1} f(2*i), where f(m) = (1-x^m)/(1-x) [Corrected by N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 07 2021]. This is a row of the triangle in A162206.
