You can't: the value of paragraph-separate that Emacs uses for bidi
reordering is hard-coded, and cannot be changed. (I tried to use the
buffer local value once, but gave up once I saw the values set by the
likes of texinfo.el -- they caused crashes.)
IMO, the right way of overriding the built-in paragraph direction is
by introducing special text properties, which major modes can set
according to their needs, not unlike font-lock. Patches to that
effect are welcome.
