If you define 2 paragraph styles, one with the 22.75 pt line spacing and
another with the reduced line spacing, it would be fast enough to apply the
styles. Let's say you apply the "reduced space" style to the first paragraph.
If you define the style so that "Style for following paragraph" is set to the
"normal line spacing" style, the change to that style will happen
automatically when you press Return after the first line.
I don't know whether the "fake" paragraph would result in other problems –
depends on alignment etc.
