Figured out a solution…

I defined a custom multilevel list style in the styles.docx Word doc with 5 
levels (1, 1-1, –, 1-A, –). I then defined 5 paragraph styles New1 through 
New5, with only New1 having 12pt of space before it and all others having 
0pts before and after. I also colored New2 & 3 brown and New4 and 5 blue 
for clarity (color settings not in screenshot).

Then, I linked the each level in the custom multilevel list to a style (see 
pink circle in bottom right). This was the key!

I then ran the following command on the (really-ugly) .md text below:
pandoc --reference-doc=../styles.docx --lua-filter=../pagebreak.lua -o 
docx/Example-000.docx md/Example-000.md 


::: {custom-style="New1"}
Item 1
:::
::: {custom-style="New2"}
Sub-item one of type one
:::
::: {custom-style="New2"}
Sub-item two of type one
:::
::: {custom-style="New3"}
Maybe some sub-items will have bullets
:::
::: {custom-style="New3"}
Maybe even two bullets
:::
::: {custom-style="New2"}
Sub-item three of type one
:::
::: {custom-style="New4"}
Sub-item one of type two
:::
::: {custom-style="New4"}
Sub-item two of type two
:::
::: {custom-style="New4"}
Sub-item three of type two
:::
::: {custom-style="New5"}
Maybe sub-items of type two can even have bullets
:::
::: {custom-style="New5"}
Maybe sub-items of type two can even have bullets
:::
::: {custom-style="New5"}
Maybe sub-items of type two can even have bullets
:::
::: {custom-style="New1"}
Item 2
:::
::: {custom-style="New2"}
More sub-items
:::
::: {custom-style="New2"}
Etc.
:::
::: {custom-style="New4"}
Etc.
:::
::: {custom-style="New5"}
Etc.
:::
::: {custom-style="New4"}
Etc.
:::
::: {custom-style="New4"}
Etc.
:::
::: {custom-style="New1"}
Item three
:::
::: {custom-style="New2"}
Etc.
:::

This was the resulting Word doc!

Problem solved! (but with ugly syntax in the .md file…) Posting here for 
future reference in case others want custom lists too!
