I would make a separate class only for the paragraphs that include the extra space (I assume there are fewer of them). For the ones that don't, I'd just style the <p> (no additional class needed).

Alternately, if the gaps represent scene breaks or similar, I am fairly sure it is semantically appropriate to use <hr> there. If so, that's probably the fastest way to resolve the issue (and you can style <hr> to just be a vertical gap).
