You can fold sequences of two or more empty lines (may contain whitespace) with these settings:
:syn match MyEmptyLines "\(^\s*\n\)\+" fold :syn sync fromstart :setlocal foldmethod=syntax
After entering the above, type zM to close all folds, or zR to open them.
If you have set 'foldcolumn' to more than 0 you can open/close the empty-line blocks by clicking the '+' or '-' with the mouse in the folder column.
