How about setting fill-column to a very large value, like 999999 and
then fill-paragraph (M-q)?
I use my own flowing-text-mode when editing text with one-line
paragraphs. Here's the definition:
(define-derived-mode flowing-text-mode text-mode "Text[flow]"
"Major mode for editing text with long flowing lines."
(visual-line-mode 1)
(whitespace-newline-mode 1)
(set (make-local-variable 'tab-stop-list)
(number-sequence 4 100 4))
(setq indent-tabs-mode nil
fill-column 99999))
