This below seems to work but of course I'd be interested in improvements.

Basically this finds the p node with an immediately preceding sibling
that does not have the p_5f_prototype style. That's the first element
in the sequence. Then it finds the first p node after that one that does
not have the p_5f_prototype style. That's the node right after the last
element in the sequence. Then I just use [. << $end] to isolate the set.

<xsl:template match="text:p[@text:style-name='p_5f_prototype' and not(preceding-sibling::*[1][@text:style-name='p_5f_prototype'])]">
    <xsl:variable name="end" select="following-sibling::*[not(@text:style-name='p_5f_prototype')][1]"/>
    <pre>   
        <xsl:apply-templates mode="prototype" select=".|following-sibling::*[. &lt;&lt; $end]"/>
    </pre><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
     
<xsl:template mode="prototype" match="text:s">
    <xsl:value-of select="substring('                     ', 1, @text:c)"/>
</xsl:template>
     
<xsl:template mode="prototype" match="text()|@*">
    <xsl:value-of select="."/><xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

The only wart is that an empty element does not produce a blank line
because I guess the empty element doesn't match 'text()'. Meaning the
following:

  <text:p text:style-name="p_5f_prototype">require_once('foo.php');</text:p>
  <text:p text:style-name="p_5f_prototype"/>
  <text:p text:style-name="p_5f_prototype">bool ...

yields:

  require_once('plexcel.php');
  bool ...

whereas I would like:

  require_once('plexcel.php');
  
  bool ...
