%e For an illustration of the rows of triangle consider the infinite "double-staircases" diagram defined in A335616.

%e For n = 15 the diagram with first 15 levels looks like this:

%e The first largest double-staircase has 29 horizontal steps, the second double-staircase has 13 steps, the third double-staircase has 7 steps, the fourth double-staircase has 3 steps and the fifth double-staircase has only one step, so the 15th row of triangle is [29, 13, 7, 3, 1]. (End)
