You may either manually set the enumeration counter when starting 3,
or define an environment "list-comment" which makes the inverse indentation
of the enumeration environment, plus some additional vertical spacing
(of course, the second option may not work for certain styles).

The best solution would be to create environments "scattered-enumerate" and
"next-enumerate". The first one would maintain an outer enumeration counter 
and
the second one would be based on the usual enumerate environment,
while updating the counter number. I.e.

<\scattered-enumerate>
  efhieuhf iuezhf iuez

  <\next-enumerate>
    <item> dieuhf iueh fiuezh fuiezh

    <item> deiuhf ieuhf iuezh fiuzehf iz
  </next-enumerate>

  eiuhf iuezh fiuezh fiuezh 

  <\next-enumerate>
    <item> dieuhf iueh fiuezh fuiezh

    <item> deiuhf ieuhf iuezh fiuzehf iz
  </next-enumerate>

  eiuhf iuezh fiuezh fiuezh 
</scattered-enumerate>

Best wishes, Joris
