My footnotes are showing packed together vertically. It’s not a big deal, still, if it were possible I’d prefer a space between them:
Possible? I find I can add a space manually, but that’s suspect since footnotes have their own logic.
Excellent, thanks … but Format > Paragraph shows me this:
… doesn’t look quite right. How do you get that column on the right in your screencap? I’m not sure the change I make there is exclusive to footnotes.

Because you must modify built-in paragraph style Footnote.
Activate the side style pane if not done already (Styles>Manage Styles or F11). Then right-click on Footnote and Edit Style.
Steep learning curve … so much power … but it’s scary at first. Tx.
Can I change the maximum size of a footnote? I have one that’s spread itself over two pages, I’d like to get it on one page if possible.
You can’t change the size of a footnote. Its size is determined by the number of paragraphs. And each paragraph has its own “size” driven by Footnote paragraph style (line spacing, spacing above and below, indents, font properties, …).
But you can change the maximum height of the footnote area in a page. This is configured in the page style. Open it and got to Footnote tab. There is presently (25.8.4.2) a small bug which prevents from using the full page (or even more than 80% if I remember right). So, force manually the height to the maximum Writer will let you to.
