I can’t help but think of Scott Alexander’s long posts, where usually there’s a division of topics between roman-numeraled sections, but sometimes it seems like it’s just “oh, it’s been too long since the last one, got to break it up somehow”. I do think this really helps with readability; it reminds the reader to take a breath, in some sense.
Or like, taking something that works together as a self-contained thought but is too long to serve the function of a paragraph, and just splitting it by adding a superficially segue-like sentence at the start of the second part.
