Now that I know this number, I was able to find two more instances of it
on the web, computed using different approaches:
http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/52277.html
http://www.passwordresearch.com/files/Password%20Pool%20Possibilities%20-%20PUBLIC.xls
Most other numbers from the tables I put at:

are not found with Google's web search - in particular, it appears
that no research had been done on keyspace reduction with "at least 2
