It sounds like perhaps you want an array of collections (Collection[]). Values in a collection are variant.
["name": "paragraph1", "indentation": 4, "justification": "left", "font": "sans-serif", "size": 12]

Dim MyCollection as New Collection[]

Paragraph one could be MyCollection[0], paragraph two, MyCollection[1], etc. This assumes, though, that the paragraphs would 
have a related context, ie. be in the same document.
