I can only agree with Eric - I think visual-line-mode is the best way to deal with variable-length content in paragraphs.

I don't have this issue because I use visual-line-mode (together with
org-indent-mode) and text reflows automatically.  Every paragraph is a
single "line" in the org file but is (soft) wrapped automatically at the
window edge.  But this may not suit you, of course.
