The English style would be unbalanced for a multi-paragraph quote: an opening mark at the beginning of every paragraph, a closing mark only at the end of the last. But I guess Spanish is weirder here, we'd use a closing mark at the beginning of every paragraph but the first.

I more meant visually unbalanced. To me the double quotation mark is "light" enough that it does not draw attention to itself. I find guillemets a bit louder though, and find it odd to see it not closely paired.
But yes, I do understand what you mean.
