			For n = 4, there are 8 compositions: [4], [3,1], [2,2], [2,1,1], [1,3], [1,2,1], [1,1,2], and [1,1,1,1]. Of these, only [2,2] has adjacent terms that are not relatively prime, so a(4) = 7.

A sequence is alternating if it is alternately strictly increasing and strictly decreasing, starting with either. For example, the partition (3,2,2,2,1) has no alternating permutations, even though it does have the anti-run permutations (2,3,2,1,2) and (2,1,2,3,2).

First differs from A325534 at a(10) = 25, A325534(10) = 26. The first separable partition without an alternating permutation is (3,2,2,2,1).

A sequence is alternating if it is alternately strictly increasing and strictly decreasing, starting with either. For example, the partition (3,3,2,2,2,2,1) has no alternating permutations, even though it has the anti-run permutations (2,3,2,3,2,1,2), (2,3,2,1,2,3,2), and (2,1,2,3,2,3,2).

Every sequence can be uniquely split into a sequence of non-overlapping runs. For example, the runs of (2,2,1,1,1,3,2,2) are ((2,2),(1,1,1),(3),(2,2)), with sums (4,3,3,4).

The k-th composition in standard order (graded reverse-lexicographic, A066099) is obtained by taking the set of positions of 1's in the reversed binary expansion of k, prepending 0, taking first differences, and reversing again. This gives a bijective correspondence between nonnegative integers and integer compositions.

			As a triangle:
   0
   1
   2  2
   4  5  6  4
   8  9  8 10 12 13 10  8
  16 17 18 18 20 17 22 20 24 25 24 26 20 21 18 16
These are the standard composition numbers of the following compositions (transposed):
  ()  (1)  (2)  (3)    (4)      (5)
           (2)  (2,1)  (3,1)    (4,1)

The k-th composition in standard order (graded reverse-lexicographic, A066099) is obtained by taking the set of positions of 1's in the reversed binary expansion of k, prepending 0, taking first differences, and reversing again. This gives a bijective correspondence between nonnegative integers and integer compositions.
We define the (run-) compression of a sequence to be the anti-run obtained by reducing each run of repeated parts to a single part. Alternatively, compression removes all parts equal to the part immediately to their left. For example, (1,1,2,2,1) has compression (1,2,1).
For the present sequence, the a(n)-th composition in standard order is obtained by compressing the n-th composition in standard order.

			The standard compositions and their compressions begin:
   0: ()        -->  0: ()
   1: (1)       -->  1: (1)
   2: (2)       -->  2: (2)
   3: (1,1)     -->  1: (1)
   4: (3)       -->  4: (3)
   5: (2,1)     -->  5: (2,1)
   6: (1,2)     -->  6: (1,2)
   7: (1,1,1)   -->  1: (1)
   8: (4)       -->  8: (4)
   9: (3,1)     -->  9: (3,1)
  10: (2,2)     -->  2: (2)
  11: (2,1,1)   -->  5: (2,1)
  12: (1,3)     --> 12: (1,3)
  13: (1,2,1)   --> 13: (1,2,1)
  14: (1,1,2)   -->  6: (1,2)
  15: (1,1,1,1) -->  1: (1)
