If Trump is elected president and dies on January 19, 2018 then Pence can be re-elected once. He finishes out Trumps term as president and gets to run for re-election in 2020...that's it.
If Trump is elected president and dies on January 21, 2018 then Pence can be re-elected twice. He finishes out Trumps term as president and gets to run for re-election in 2020 and 2024.
If you want to get down to the second, if Trump dies at 11:59:59:999am January 20, 2018 then Pence only gets to run one more time. If Trump dies 12:00:00:001pm January 20, 2018 then Pence gets to run two more times.
