TransTools for Word has an "UnBreaker" tool. It lists all the linebreaks, which are (probably) not valid, and the user can go through the list and mark those he thinks should be rectified. - (TransTools is a suite of VBA-macros, and as such rather slow. So it should be tried on a small subset of the file in question first to see if it's usable)
Pepito Cleaner (for OpenOffice/Libreoffice) has something similar. (It's broke on LibreOffice 6.1, but should work on 6.0)
If the PDF is something with a text-layer, the OP might try Softmakers FlexiPDF (it must be the Pro version!) to export the textlayer. It does a hell of a job figuring out the correct paragraph breaks. It has a somewhat steep price (I've never regretted buying it, though), but another software vendor, AShampoo, has leased it from Softmaker and sells it sometimes for 20$ or so.
Just some 0.02 cents suggestions - hope it might help.

Hey, Kim:
Long time no see. If the FlexiPDF works, then $80 is cheap, at least for anyone working with pdfs regularly. Hell, I'd be willing to try it, if it can even be used, let's say, only on fiction PDFs. You have the pro version, presumably?
(FYI, I think the OP is saying, in a roundabout way, that the export to ePUB is resulting in block-style paras. I know, it sounds daft, but that's my latest interpretation. When I tried my last to discuss broken paras, he sounded exasperated ["I'm still not getting this across, am I?"], so I don't
think it's the broken paras. I hope we find out soon!)
