I format my plain text originals using Markdown syntax. Calibre has a Markdown option in text conversion, (TXT Input - Paragraph style: off, Formatting style: markdown), which automatically takes care of paragraphs which span multiple lines; and no regex needed.

If you do want to force a hard-break in a paragraph then you simply add 2 trailing spaces to a line.
