The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i. This is equal to (-1)^(r-1) times the number of odd parts, where r is the greatest part, so a(n) is the number of integer partitions of 2n with exactly two odd parts, neither of which is the greatest.
Also the number of reversed integer partitions of 2n with alternating sum -2.

Examples

			The a(2) = 1 through a(6) = 14 partitions:
  (31)  (42)    (53)      (64)        (75)

The Heinz number of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is prime(y_1)*...*prime(y_k). This gives a bijective correspondence between positive integers and integer partitions.
The reverse-alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^i y_i.

The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i. This is equal to (-1)^(m-1) times the number of odd parts in the conjugate partition, where m is the number of parts. So T(n,k) is the number of strict integer partitions of 2n into an odd number of parts whose conjugate has exactly 2k odd parts.
Also the number of reversed strict integer partitions of 2n with alternating sum 2k.

The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i. This is equal to (-1)^(m-1) times the number of odd parts in the conjugate partition, where m is the number of parts. By conjugation, this is also (-1)^(r-1) times the number of odd parts, where r is the greatest part. So a(n) is the number of integer partitions of n of even rank with the same number of odd parts as their conjugate.

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.
The alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i.

Conjecture: a(n) >= A236914.
The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i. This is equal to (-1)^(m-1) times the number of odd parts in the conjugate partition, where m is the number of parts. So a(n) is the number of even-length partitions of 2n with at least one odd conjugate part. By conjugation, this is also the number of partitions of 2n with greatest part even and at least one odd part.
The alternating sum of a partition is never < 0, so the non-reverse version is A000004.

The reverse-alternating sum of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(k-i) y_i. This is equal to (-1)^(m-1) times the number of odd parts in the conjugate partition, where m is the number of parts, so a(n) is the number of strict odd-length integer partitions of 2n whose conjugate has exactly 4 odd parts (first example). By conjugation, this is also the number partitions of 2n covering an initial interval and containing exactly four odd parts, one of which is the greatest (second example).
