Why do quotation boxes split themselves?

This snag doesn't happen on Stack Exchange. Each time I use >, the quotation box severs itself. How can I combine the quotation boxes? I screenshot https://math.codidact.com/posts/282889.

As it should be (2 comments)

Really, this is as it should be, in my opinion. Semantically, the two quote blocks in your second example represent two distinct quotes; that they are adjacent in the content is a separate issue. If you need a blockquote to include multiple paragraphs, the proper way to do that in any medium is to also quote the paragraph break. Hence the extra > to indicate an unbroken block quote is semantically appropriate.
