a(n) = 8 if and only if n is an odd prime.

If the symmetric representation of sigma(n) has only one polygon (or part), or in other words, if n is a member of A174973 (also of the same sequence A238443) then a(n) = 2 + 2*(A003056(n-1) + A003056(n)). Note that A174973 = A238443 also include all powers of 2 and all even perfect numbers.

For n = 9 the symmetric representation of sigma(9) has three parts from right to left as follows: a rectangle, a concave hexagon and a rectangle. The number of edges of the polygons are 4, 6, 4 respectively, therefore the total number of edges is 4 + 6 + 4 = 14, so a(9) = 14.
