That has nothing to do with different "styles" according to meaning of
this word in TeXmacs.

You can achieve your goal by wrapping your bibliography in
with-contexts setting the appropriate typesetter variables:

  -- interline space
     type: length

     The minimum length between the ink of two successive lines of the
     same paragragh.

     This variable is set by menu items labeled interline separation.

  -- line stretch
     type: space

     Stretchable space inserted between successive lines of the same
     paragraph when filling a page. To produce the expected behaviour,
     the variable value should be set to use fn* length unit. It is
     the only space unit relative to the font heigth and with a
     nominal value of 0.

     This variable is set by menu items labeled interline space.

 -- interparagraph space
    type: space

    Extra space between paragraphs.

You can find discussion of the distinction between 'length' and
'space' at this address:

The relevant menu items are in the "Format->Spacing" menu and the item
"Insert->Macros->With".
