Can be simplified to:

:%s/\n\([^\n]\)/ \1/

Finds a linefeed followed by a non-linefeed
and replaces the linefeed with a space.

Changes this:
=============

uuuu
An
by
y

uuuu
An
by
y

To this:
========

uuuu An by y
uuuu An by y

Then if needed, a second search/replace to
separate 'paragraphs' by at most one blank line:

:%s/\n\+/\r\r/

To this:
========

uuuu An by y

uuuu An by y
