According to the DocBook TDG yes. A formalpara can have one para only.

Hmn, I am not sure if I understand you correct. Do you mean a para inside 
formalpara and some consecutive paras to clump like this?

 <formalpara>
   <title>Bla</title>
   <para>First line</para>
 </formalpara>
 <para>Second line</para>

This could work.
