Either way is permissible, and both have happened.

A President is limited to ten years in office. That means that a Vice President (or Speaker of the House, or whoever winds up taking office) can take over office if the President dies or resigns for two years of the original President's term and then be elected to two full terms of his or her own. The Constitution does not dictate that they be consecutive terms.
