Totals for each side of a double entry transaction *must* match. You can
not change that.
What you *might* do is ... not choose one of the accounts in a split.
That is, if you have a split transaction that comprises 2 accounts, if
you only choose the first account, the remaining difference is assigned
to the "Imbalance" account.
That will make the transaction balance. Double entry transactions
*always* balance, one way or the other.
