OK, I even have the O'Reilly book mentioned in the javadoc, "Mastering Regular Expressions". Looking in the index under "multiline mode" says, "see Perl, modifier: multi-line mode (\m)".
So, it is certainly possible do use without splitting first, but I think composing two simple functions (re-find ... (re-split ...)) will be much easier for readers of the code to understand than the complicated do-it-all-in-one-regex method. Also, this is what people are used to from unix grep, which operates on each line of a file separately.
