Converting HTML => PDF: text and image flow/whitespace issue

I am converting HTML to PDF using Calibre. I have a bunch of 2:3 aspect ratio (portrait mode) images in the book. Because my PDF is also 2:3 aspect ratio, the images almost always take a full page to themselves.

That isn't a problem in itself, but it creates a problem where there is often tons of white space on the page before the image. Often a page preceding an image might only have a few sentences or paragraphs before the image essentially creates a new page break.

Is there a way Calibre can "reflow" the text that comes after the image so that it fills up the white space before it? For my application it's not critical that the image goes exactly where it is, it can move around a bit relative to the text to fix this issue. But I did not see any such options in the documentation. Thanks.
