COMMENTS
Symmetry and 2 X 2 block sums zero implies that the diagonal x(i,i) are equal modulo 2 and x(i,j) = (x(i,i)+x(j,j))/2*(-1)^(i-j).

FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-3).
Conjectures from Colin Barker, Jul 16 2018: (Start)
G.f.: x*(11 - 7*x - 9*x^2) / ((1 - x)*(1 - x - x^2)).
a(n) = 5 + (2^(1-n)*((1-sqrt(5))^n*(-2+sqrt(5)) + (1+sqrt(5))^n*(2+sqrt(5)))) / sqrt(5).
(End)
