If you want a non-stretching break-opportunity before some construct,
you can put something like

\penalty10000\hskip 0pt plus 1fil\penalty 0\hskip 0pt plus -1fil\relax

and if TeX chooses the break at the penalty0, it will leave the
paragraph above raggedright, while without a break the skips cancel.
But the end result is still ugly with two short lines in the middle of a
paragraph.
