I think you are confusing things here: orphans and widows refer to single lines on the following/preceding page. So if you get two lines, you get exactly what you ask for. If I understand you correctly, you do not want to break paragraphs vertically at all?

Okay, I did not understand the terminology correctly.

Yes, in this particular case I would like not to break them. What would also be acceptable is when there are at least five lines on the page.
