Comment (by Chouby):

 The editor does not let me save
 {{{
 <!-- wp:core/paragraph -->
 <p>First paragraph</p>
 <!-- /wp:core/paragraph --><!-- wp:core/paragraph -->
 <p>Second paragraph</p>
 <!-- /wp:core/paragraph -->
 }}}
 It automatically changes it back to
 {{{
 <!-- wp:paragraph -->
 <p>First paragraph</p>
 <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

 <!-- wp:paragraph -->
 <p>Second paragraph</p>
 <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
 }}}

 I am not sure that this is intentional. But it's indeed probably a
 consequence of how the free form text is parsed as

 {{{
 <!-- wp:paragraph -->
 <p>First paragraph</p>
 <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

 <p>Free form text</p>

 <!-- wp:paragraph -->
 <p>Second paragraph</p>
 <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
 }}}

 is parsed in

 {{{
 Array
 (
     [0] => Array
         (
             [blockName] => core/paragraph
             [attrs] => stdClass Object
                 (
                 )

             [innerBlocks] => Array
                 (
                 )

             [innerHTML] =>
 <p>First paragraph</p>

         )

     [1] => Array
         (
             [blockName] =>
             [attrs] => Array
                 (
                 )

             [innerBlocks] => Array
                 (
                 )

             [innerHTML] =>

 <p>Free form text</p>


         )

     [2] => Array
         (
             [blockName] => core/paragraph
             [attrs] => stdClass Object
                 (
                 )

             [innerBlocks] => Array
                 (
                 )

             [innerHTML] =>
 <p>Second paragraph</p>

         )

 )
 }}}

 Maybe not a big deal, but it surprised me having all these empty blocks in
 the array returned.
