A Vice President can resign, be removed or die in office thus necessitating the appointment of a new Vice President. Also a President can chose a new running mate when going for re-election. Those situations have happened in the past and are why the count of Presidents and Vice Presidents are inconsistent.
Seven Vice Presidents died while in office.
George Clinton, under James Madison
Elbridge Gerry, served under James Madison
William Rufus De Vane King, served under Franklin Pierce
Henry Wilson, served under U.S. Grant
Thomas Hendricks, served under Grover Cleveland
Garret Hobart, served under William McKinley
James Sherman, served under William Howard Taft
