Yes, but each paragraph has a single baselinestretch. However, there is
an arcane incantation needed before the changed baselinestretch has any
effect:
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.333}\tiny\normalsize
\baselinestretch isn't checked until there is a font change, but just
\normalsize isn't enough because LaTeX is "smart" enough to see that that
isn't a real change (if you are already at normal size).
I think this is in the TeX FAQ sheet.
