The reason that there have been four more U. S. Vice Presidents than there have been U. S. Presidents is due to the eleven Presidents who did not have just one Vice President.

Four Presidents, Tyler, Fillmore, A. Johnson and Arthur, had no Vice President (a 4-VP shortage).

Six Presidents, Madison, Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, McKinley and Nixon, each had two Vice Presidents (a 6-VP surplus).

One President, Franklin Roosevelt, had three Vice Presidents (a 2-VP surplus).

Six extra plus two extra minus four short equals four extra.

That's because there have been more Presidents with multiple Vice Presidents than there have been Vice Presidents serving under multiple Presidents.
