More than two paragraph markers are a problem but here is an old trick using just Word or any text editor withour regular expressions.
1. USE A COPY.
2. USE A COPY.
3. Search and replace all "^P^P" with an unused character. The pipe symbol is almost always safe. "|"
4. Search and replace all single "^P" with a space.
5. Search and replace all "|" with ^P or what ever you want to see.
This works well in any case where a single delimiter is used for one thing and two of them for something else as in converting multi line lists to a comma delimited flat file.
One and two above are the most important because if you do #4 before #3 you have a "bit" of work ahead.
