The trouble I'm having is inserting LX4. There does not appear to be a way to directly insert that LX4 into a new block of text.

Is this a text (Writer) document? One way to do this is to enter all the material as if it is in the list:
  LX1   blabla
  LX2   blablabla
  LX3   moreblabla
  LX4   some-text-not-in-a-list
  LX5   this-is-the-fourth-item

Then put the cursor into each paragraph in turn that you do not wish to be part of the list and click the Numbering On/Off button, which appears in both the Formatting and the Bullets and Numbering toolbars. The remaining list items will be renumbered appropriately and will remain part of a single list.

Of course, it is not necessary to enter the entire list before removing the rogue paragraphs from the list. In your case, once you have typed "some-text-not-in-a-list" against "LX4" and pressed Enter, you will see the next line numbered "LX5". You can now immediately remove the rogue line from the list (as above) and see the next line number change to the "LX4" that you require.

I trust this helps.
