Not sure of your criteria for 'embedded paragraph'. My criteria is like: in narrative genre where a change of speaker is within a larger narrative unit. Jesus said, xx, then Peter asked, xx.

Are you trying to account for two items on the same level where one meets the criteria for a paragraph but the other does not?  Yes

Use the following in the write  up in the Word document.

The illustration is patterned like a paragraph (has the characteristics of a paragraph), but since the NUCLEUS to which it is paired, it is not analyzed as a paragraph.
