Looks ok on the computer but when u write a paragraph that takes up 3 pages in the exam, it looks weird.

better to split each in half, just make sure you make it clear that it is a continuation of the same idea.
I tended to do 2 ideas but elaborate on them in 2 ways.

perhaps spilt those 2 massive paragraphs in half "furthermore..." so you have 4 small paragraphs. Way more easier and more pleasing to look at LOl.

huehue. Most things "work" when you're actually the answer well. Its jut a matter of its neatness and structure i'd say. So just try to spilt it, my teachers recommend this as English marking is subjective and clean concise paragraphs is better to look at than fat ones.

My teacher once told me that you'd have to be very skilled to write longer paragraphs since it's more work to keep all information under control and still relevant to the point and not repetitive.

But if you can do this and if you do explore the text in greater depth without losing cohesion then it'll be fine. It's all about the quality of your answer anyway.

Which module is this for btw? Or just in general?

yeah you can the same quality in 500 word paragraphs or 200 word paragraphs, always best to cut down whats not needed! well thats my take on it, i advise breaking up into smaller paragraphs (it will be easier on you too).
