COMMENTS
The length of row m is delta(2*m+1) + 1 = A055034(2*m+1) + 1.
For details see A334429, where the formula for the minimal polynomial MPc2(m, x) of 2*cos(Pi/(2*m+1))^2 = rho(2*m+1)^2, for m >= 0, is given.
The companion triangle for even n is A334431.

FORMULA
T(m, k) = [x^k] MPc2odd(m, x), with MPc2odd(m, x) = Product_{j=1..delta(2*m+1)} (x - (2 + R(rpnodd(2*m+1)_j, rho(2*m+1)))) (evaluated using C(2*m+1, rho(2*m+1)) = 0), for m >= 1, and MPc2odd(0, x) = -4 + x. Here R(n, x) is the monic Chebyshev R polynomial with coefficients given in A127672. C(n, x) is the minimal polynomial of rho(n) = 2*cos(Pi/n) given in A187360, and rpnodd(m) is the list of positive odd numbers coprime to 2*m + 1 and <= 2*m - 1.
