I'd start by looking at the source code for the "Description" environment. That environment bolds only the first*word*. So instead of bolding until a space, you could bold to a period, although heaven help you if you have to use an abbreviation in the sentence.
The problem with this approach is that the "Description" environment is special-cased in LyX's c++ source. It's not trivial for the end user to modify this. But you *can* use the "Description" environment and use Ctrl-Space to link bold words together. This would also work for short sentences (less than a column width)
