There's no universal standard for this, or at least not in fiction. Books generally pick one style and stick with it. Larger narrative breaks than a section break can be indicated by starting a new chapter.

The exception is in printed books that use extra space between paragraphs to designate the end of a section, and when this happens at the end of a page: In this circumstance, the book will often use a row of asterisks or other symbols instead of empty space, for clarity's sake.
