I would suggest #+begin_latex #+end_latex for such specific needs
(paralist).

There is no strict definition of a paragraph in Org core, yet. That's
why every exporter comes out with its own.
Though, a blank line is definitely seen as a paragraph break, as any
paragraph starter. So, what are these paragraph starters? Here are some:
- any line starting with #+, maybe indented. That includes keywords,
blocks, comments...
- fixed-width lines
- items
- headlines.
Now, defining a paragraph in Org wouldn't necessary be a bad thing for
exporters. This would just add information they could deliberately throw
away. That's why, again, keeping the exact number of blank lines is
important (for when they will throw the information away).
