You can record the actions as a macro, do a regexp search for (?=\n\n| 
\z) to get to the end of last line.

I did one for you (click to install):

 From the command line, to collapse whitespace (and newlines) into  
one space, and then wrap at the last space before column 80, you  
would do:

     tr -s '[\n ]' ' '|fold -sw80

To then distribute spaces on all but last line, well, you need to  
write some code? :)
