Indeed. Maybe he kept some DNA to clone himself with, so that he could be his own successor when he eventually died old old age, and with being killed much earlier, Snoke held the throne for him until the clone was ready?

If it's not a clone or a flashback and he really did survive, then even if he seemingly dies again I can't trust that he's really dead, plus it likely won't be as spectacular as his fall into the main reactor, that was my number one favorite villain death even after Voldemort was there to take second prize for that 10-year wait.
