This is what the transaction matcher is for, to match to-be-imported
transactions against the already-existing transactions.  But you need
to manually confirm the matches, gnucash would rather double-import
than incorrectly match and not import.

Also, it's unclear if the OFX importer can properly deal with two OFX
transaction IDs in the same transaction.
