You could try the following

Paragraph("<br/>",style=....), however, you should be aware that paragraphs come 
with spaceBefore and spaceAfter style settings. If you just want vertical space 
then you can use  the Spacer flowable eg

Spacer(1,72)

uses up 72 points of vertical space. The 1 is effectively the width, but is not
really important.
