ẆŒPẋ€€2F€ċ  Main link. Argument: s (string)

Ẇ           Window, generate the array of all substrings of s.
 ŒP         Powerset; generate all subarrays of substrings of s.
   ẋ€€2     Repeat each substring in each subarray twice.
            For example, ["ab", "a", "b"] becomes ["abab", "aa", "bb"].
       F€   Flatten the subarrays by concatenating their strings.
         ċ  Count how many times s appears in the generated strings.

g(a:b:c)|a==b=g c
g x=x==[]
any(g.words.concat).mapM(c->[[c],c:" "])

g(a:b:c)                                  g on list with elements a, b and tail c,
        |a==b                              in the case that a==b,
             =g c                          recurses to the tail c.
g x=                                      g on any other list x
    x==[]                                  checks that x is empty.
                                           This includes the case where a is not equal
                                           to b, resulting in False.
any(g.words.concat).mapM(c->[[c],c:" "]) The main function:
                    mapM(c->[[c],c:" "])  Replace each letter c with either "c" or "c "
                                           in all possible ways, return list of results.
any(              ).                       Check that at least one result satisfies this:
            concat                          Concatenate the 1- or 2-letter strings,
      words.                                split again at each space,
    g.                                      apply g.

ŒṖµœs€2ZEµ€S  Main link. Argument: s (string)

ŒṖ            Generate all partitions of s.
  µ      µ€   Map the monadic chain between the µ's over the partitions.
   œs€2         Split each string in the partition into two chunks of equal length.
       Z        Zip/transpose, collecting the first halves in one array and the
                second halves in another.
        E       Test the arrays of halves for equality.
           S  Return the sum of the results, counting the number of different
              ways s can be paired.

~c     Reversed concatenate: find a list that, when concatenated, results in the input string
       This examines all partitions of the input
  ~jᵐ  Map reversed juxtapose: for each string in that list, is it the result of concatenating
       a string to itself?
