The underlying problem is that LibreOffice only offers very limited page break control. As far as I know, this applies to Microsoft Word too. There are just options "do not split paragraph" and "keep with next paragraph", but those are not enough. See here for more information:

Add new feature of 'keep with previous paragraph' formatting option for Writer

In fact, what you really need is some visible marker like <begin keep together in page> and <end keep together in page>. Marking single objects in an invisible is fiddly. Just add a new element later and watch your paging break again.

Even CSS, arguably designed primarily for screen usage, offers more control. See "page-break-inside: avoid".
