Did you try something like:

(element progress
  (let ((my-children (select-elements (children (current-node)) 'para)))
    (sosofo-append
      (make paragraph
        ; ...
        (sosofo-append
          (make line-field ;... ;)
          (process-node-list
            (children (node-list-first my-children)))))
      (process-node-list (node-list-rest (my-children))))))

Ofcourse, there are other solutions as well. You could, for example,
process the first para with a special processing mode.

(The above is not tested, obiously:-)
