My brain was ANDing the first three paragraphs until I got to the OR in the last paragraph, wondering why in the world those otherwise discrete scenarios would have a combinatorial effect. I'm wired to look ahead to determine AND versus OR with a comma-delimited series, but not with a paragraph-delimited series. It's a cool pattern but very unexpected, and I'm not sure you could successfully tack on other thoughts before or after the series, because what would delimit those from the series without overloading the meaning of a paragraph separation?
Given a need for multi-sentence items within a series, I go for bullet points. Hyphen character to start each point if no rich UL formatting is available.
