Is there a simple way to expand the following Product Sum?

The closed form is given by $$F_n = \sum_{\sum p_i = n } a(p_1, p_2, \ldots , p_n) v_1^{p_1} v_2 ^{p_2} \ldots v_n^{p_n}$$ $$a(p_1, p_2, \ldots , p_n) = \prod_{i=1}^n { {n-i+1 - \sum_{j=i+1}^{n} p_i} \choose { p_i }}. $$

As to why that works, we look at how many ways we can pick the $v_n$, then the $v_{n-1}$, then the $v_{n-2}$, so on and so forth.

It's easier to explain with reference to an explicit calculation:
Suppose we wanted to find the coefficient $a(2, 0, 2, 1, 0)$ of $a^2 c^2d$ in $F(5) = (a)(a+b)(a+b+c)(a+b+c+d)(a+b+c+d+e)$.

There is 1 way of choosing 0 $e$'s.: There are 1 terms with $e$ to choose from -> ${ 1 \choose 0 }$ ways.
After that, there are 2 ways to choose 1 $d$'s: There are 2 terms with $d$ to choose from, and exactly 0 of them have been used up by the $e$ -> ${ 2 - 0 \choose 1 }$ ways.
After that, there are 1 ways to choose 2 $c$'s: There are 3 terms with $c$ to choose from, and exactly 0+1 of them have been used by the $e, d$ -> ${ 3 - 0-1 \choose 2}$ ways.
After that, there are 1 ways to choose 0 $b$'s: There are 4 terms with $b$ to choose from, and exactly 0+1+2 of them have been used up by the $e, d, c$ -> ${ 4 - 0-1-2 \choose 0}$ ways.
After that, there are 1 ways to choose 2 $a$'s: There are 5 terms with $a$ to choose from, and exactly 0+1+2+0 of them have been used up by the $e, d, c, b$ -> ${ 5 - 0-1-2-0 \choose 2}$ ways.

Note:

  • We're going with the convention that
    • ${ 0 \choose n } = 1$ for non-negative integers $n$ and
    • $ { k \choose n } = 0 $ for negative integers $k$ and non-negative integers $n$.

Fried states the formula of coefficients for the terms $v_1^{a_1}v_2^{a_2}\cdots v_n^{a_n}$ as \begin{align*} \prod_{k=1}^{n-1}\binom{n-k+1-\sum_{i=k+1}^n a_i}{a_{k}} \end{align*} in accordance with @CalvinLin's result.
