I was thinking more of a document with multiple paragraphs and images, where some paragraphs are grouped with images and some aren't.

In the code from the link, the <body> element is serving as the wrapper element, that gives you a hook to get the layout you want. But when you're not lucky enough to have a semantic wrapper tag like that, you've usually got to add a generic tag help. Or write CSS that's closely coupled with the HTML, so they aren't really separate anyway.

Multiple sequential paragraphs all sitting next to two images? Or multiple rows, each containing a single paragraph + two images?

The latter probably would need an element for each row to be maintainable/scalable, but depending on the content, `<article>` could be a semantically-meaningful container. Or (again, depending on the content) it could make semantic sense to put the `<img>` elements inside the `<p>` elements.
