I just completed my U.C.
transfer requirements in English composition and critical thinking. My Professor for both these classes was the head of the English department at my community college, and she had instructed that the standard American English paragraph has 6 - 11 sentences. You may run over 11 or under 6, but if you are concerned about a grade on your essay or composition, keeping it between 6 and 11 is a very safe bet. For an essay just remember to open your paragraph with the idea, state your claim and then un-pack
or explain the reasoning behind your claim without making any further claim in that paragraph. after 5 - 6 sentences of reasoning you should be able to have made your point and head on to another paragraph in which you can then make another claim.
