No, because the remainder of Clinton’s term would have been less than 2 years. So Al could potentially have been elected 2 times.

Thst's true, but, the first sentence of the article says this:

Bill Clinton should have resigned (in disgrace?) in 1998 over the Monica Lewinsky affair.

...which would have made it more than 2 years left in his last term.

You are right about it being leas than 2 years and a person being able to run for two terms. If the resignation had occurred in 1999 (and after January), Gore could have been in office for close to 10 years, IF he had won.

[Robert DeLong]

You are correct, had he resigned on his own in 1998 then Gore could only serve one more term. However, he was stating that in 1999 the Democrats had their chance of getting rid of him & then Gore would have served the remainder of Bill's term & be eligible for 2 more full terms.

I'll agree that he confused the issue by mentioning Clinton resigning in 1998 to begin with.

Furthermore, he erred by stating that the Democrats would have retained control of the Presidency for an additional 8 to 10 years.

That's because they had control for the duration of Clinton's term regardless who served that term out.

Thus the Democrats would have only gained 4 more years, if he had resigned and Gore won election to serve the limit he could legally serve after taking over for Bill Clinton. Or 8 more years had he been removed from office & Gore served 2 additional terms in addition to completing the term that started with Bill Clinton as President.
