Examples
For n=8 the cells contain 0,...,8, which have one semimagic arrangement up to symmetry. For n=9 the cells contain all of 0,...,9 except 3 or 6, since 0 and 9 must be used; each selection has one semimagic arrangement up to symmetry.

Formula
G.f.: x^5/[(1-x)^3*(1-x^2)] - 2x^5/[(1-x)*(1-x^2)^2] - x^5/[(1-x)^2*(1-x^3)] - 2x^6/[(1-x)*(1-x^2)*(1-x^3)] - x^6/(1-x^2)^3 - x^7/[(1-x^2)^2*(1-x^3)] + x^5/[(1-x)*(1-x^4)] + 2x^5/[(1-x^2)*(1-x^3)] + 2x^6/[(1-x^2)*(1-x^4)] + x^6/(1-x^3)^2 + x^7/[(1-x^2)*(1-x^5)] + x^7/[(1-x^3)*(1-x^4)] + x^8/[(1-x^3)*(1-x^5)] - x^5/(1-x^5). - Thomas Zaslavsky, Mar 03 2010
