Hi!
Is there any reason why "\(\\\n\\\n\)\@<=U" fail to match this text:
\

U
while "\(\\\n\\\n\)U" will match it and "\(\\\n\)\@<=U" will match it
too (without first line)?
I suspect you're running into (from: :help /\@<= ):
"""
"\@<=" and "\@<!" check for matches just before what follows.
Theoretically these matches could start anywhere before this position.
But to limit the time needed, only the line where what follows matches
is searched, and one line before that (if there is one). This should be
sufficient to match most things and not be too slow.

Probably, as it suggests there, you could just use \zs instead:
\\\n\\\n\zsU
