I am about to buy Kobo bur read some test/review in which someone mentions about the issue of paragraph spacing.
I also read that "'...Kobo devices handle widows/orphans (the splitting that happens to prevent having only a line or two of a paragraph be at the end of a page) very badly."
Has there been any patch to help it?

Kobo's devices pretty much follow the ebook's CSS without overiding it. You can do some modifications to override the ebook's CSS but my preference is to edit the ebook and clean up what I personally don't like. And yes, there are ebooks that add a chunk of blank space between paragraphs or combine the blank space and indenting the paragraphs. See previous rants about many publisher's having no clues when it comes to page design, typography, etc.
As for widows and orphans, they should have been left with print media. One of GeoffR's patches which was originally intended to help with RMSDK's long paragraph bug also disables widows and orphans. This may be easier than editing the stylesheet (or in some cases, every html file in the ebook) to remove the widows/orphans settings.
