Just as it says on the tin; you can try it with or without a Taft (or even Elihu Root!) interval. 
Curious to see what's come up with; have fun.

No 1908 retirement - Roosevelt wins easily in 1908. The newly erupted crisis in Europe in the summer of 1912 causes him, or at least gives him the excuse, to break the two-term tradition.
1908 retirement - the easiest scenario would be one where he survives his 1914 South American trip with his health intact, while not losing any sons in WWI. So he regains the presidency in 1920 for two terms.
No 1908 pledge gets him term #3, WW1/international crisis brings him 1912 and 1916, he retires in 1921 after serving 20 yrs as POTUS.
Absent the South American trip his health is improved, and if Quentin doesn't die in WW1 then TR could live through a chunk of the 20's.
He likely won't make it all the way through those terms, or that long after leaving office, due to the amount of stress he would be under serving through them as the President.

This means there's almost certainly going to be a constitutional amendment to block more than two terms once Theodore Roosevelt leaves office.
1916: Theodore Roosevelt vs. Woodrow Wilson? Roosevelt wins handily.
Mikestone8, you might be right about that legislation; I can only imagine Roosevelt would see it as fitting that no one after him would ever attain the length to which he was President.![]()
So... possible R and D tickets for those years:
1908: Theodore Roosevelt for President, Elihu Root for Vice President / William Jennings Bryan for President, John Albert Johnson for Vice President
1912: Theodore Roosevelt for President, Philander Knox for Vice President / Thomas R. Marshall for President, Champ Clark for Vice President
1916: Theodore Roosevelt for President, Charles Evans Hughes for Vice President / Woodrow Wilson for President, John W. Kern for Vice President
I used Hughes so as to, on Roosevelt's possible death ITTL in 1919, segue into a Hughes presidency.Hughes was from New York too, maybe Henry Cabot Lodge or Gifford Pinchot?
