I agree that only a sentence should have a period.

Although I'm not aware of intra-paragraph dividers in typography, how 
about using a bullet or a dash before the subsequent sentences:

====
Parameters:
r | the range subject to partitioning • For whatever reason there's a
need for a second sentence, it can follow the divider character. We can
have even more sentences.

While on topic, how about using different colors for template and 
function parameters? I leave the choice of colors to people with 
synesthesia. :)
