Plugin that can detect broken sentences

Does anyone know if there is a plugin that can detect broken sentences within the text structure of an epub? When I say 'broken sentences', I mean a sentence that breaks off on one line and picks up two lines below.
FOR EXAMPLE:
[He soon realized that they did not have any past experiences or original thoughts and ideas to share with Him. Nor did they

show any signs of wanting to learn more beyond the music they loved and were so proficient at.]

**

I'm don't expect any plugin to fix this type of situation. I'm just looking for a way to scan and detect such books, because I have a lot of old epubs that were scanned many years ago, thus creating the problem, but other than that, all the text, indentations, etc. are still fine and readable, and I hate to throw them out.

Perhaps a plugin like 'Quality Check' could add that ability to it's list of epub structure items that it scans for. All thoughts are welcome.

I have a number of REGEX (Sigil saved searches below)
Code:
71\Name=Cleanup/Joins/Join to lower
71\Find="([[:alpha:],][\"\xe2\x80\x9d]*)</p>\\s*<p\\b[^>]*>([a-z\xe2\x80\x9c\"])"
71\Replace=\\1 \\2

72\Name=Cleanup/Joins/Join to upper
72\Find="([[:alpha:],]\xe2\x80\x9d*)</p>\\s*<p\\b[^>]*>([\"\xe2\x80\x9c]*[A-Z])"
72\Replace=\\1 \\2

74\Name=Cleanup/Joins/Initials
74\Find=([A-Z]\\.)</p>\\s*<p\\b[^>]*>([\"\xe2\x80\x9c]*[A-Z])
74\Replace=\\1 \\2

80\Name=Cleanup/Joins/Honorifics
80\Find="(Mr|Mrs|Ms|Dr|Prof)\\.</p>\\s+<p class=\"calibre\\d+\">([A-Z])"
80\Replace=\\1. \\2

Note that some need the class name corrected

I always do a Search, replace Next because there are always exceptions that I have not trapped (did not even try. It take a few minutes to run the series of S&R's)

Maybe one of the Sigil plugins can do that ==>> Sigil Plugin Index

It'll be one at a time, not en-masse.
