Yes, indeed. In 2.6 you will be able to select a set of invoices to 
apply a payment to. This feature is mostly finished. The only issue 
still standing is that the automatic payment assignments still happen 
when you post a new invoice/credit note. I will have to make this 
optional (I know some people like this, but it would be in the way for 
the OP's situation).
