There's no easy answer - it's up to you! One unbroken piece of text looks ugly, is difficult to read and might put potential admissions tutors off your statement. On the other hand if it's a well written and interesting statement they might read it anyway.
I personally would try and keep the empty lines to break the paragraphs - presentation is important and the statistics say something like the average personal statement only gets about a minute in front of the admissions tutor so try and make it easy on them!
