You never run out of lines.  There is always one more blank line until you
hit Enter.

Never press Enter until you have entered all splits for a transaction - use
the arrow keys or tab to go to the next split line.

If the Imbalance line shows up, edit the account to whatever you want, edit
the amount to whatever is appropriate for that account, and press tab
