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.
Eight years is the limit for most Presidents. However, it theoretically possible for a President who was first a vice-president who finished out another person's term with two years left to serve for 10 years by being elected to two more terms of his own.An American president can serve two terms, or up to eight years in office by today's standards.

FDR was elected to 4 terms. After he died during his fourth term, the Congress passed a law. The President of the USA can serve no more than 2 full terms as President (if he/she is Vice President to a President that dies in office, then they can serve the remaining term as President and serve an additional two terms in office). Therefore President Harry Truman could serve two full terms as President in addition to the term he finished up for FDR. (HST only ran for more term). LBJ could serve as two full terms plus the term he was Vice President for JFK. LBJ only served one full term as President. He did not run again in 1968.
In the usa, the president can serve up to two terms, each being 4 years. The president can only serve the second term if he/she is elected again.

A vice-president (or other official) who succeeds an elected president may serve for up to 2 years without forfeiting eligibility to two elected terms. So a President can serve a maximum of 10 years under the law set forth in the 22nd Amendment.
