COMMENTS
Also, partitions of n in which any two distinct parts differ by at least 3. Example: a(5) = 3 because we have [5], [4,1] and [1,1,1,1,1].

FORMULA
G.f.: sum(x^k*product(1+x^(3j)/(1-x^j), j=1..k-1)/(1-x^k), k=1..infinity). More generally, the g.f. of partitions of n in which each part, with the possible exception of the largest, occurs at least b times, is sum(x^k*product(1+x^(bj)/(1-x^j), j=1..k-1)/(1-x^k), k=1..infinity). It is also the g.f. of partitions of n in which any two distinct parts differ by at least b.

EXAMPLE
a(5) = 3 because we have [5], [2,1,1,1] and [1,1,1,1,1].
MAPLE
g:=sum(x^k*product(1+x^(3*j)/(1-x^j), j=1..k-1)/(1-x^k), k=1..70): gser:=series(g, x=0, 62): seq(coeff(gser, x^n), n=1..58);

b(n, i-1) +add(b(n-i*j, i-3), j=1..n/i)))
end:
a:= n-> b(n, n):
seq(a(n), n=1..70); # Alois P. Heinz, Nov 04 2012
MATHEMATICA
b[n_, i_] := b[n, i] = If[n == 0, 1, If[i<1, 0, b[n, i-1] + Sum[b[n-i*j, i-3], {j, 1, n/i}]]]; a[n_] := b[n, n]; Table[a[n], {n, 1, 70}] (* Jean-François Alcover, May 26 2015, after Alois P. Heinz *)
