There are actually several ways to handle this:

1. Via "Assign as payment": in the payment window select all invoices you want to pay at once. 
You can do so by ctrl-clicking or shift-clicking the invoices. And only then click on ok.

2. In two separate steps:
a. Pay your first invoice via "Assign as Payment". I assume you keep the payment amount as 
the total amount of the two invoices, but select only one invoice.

b. To pay the second invoice, go to Business->Customer->Apply payment
Select the customer. You should now see your second invoice (still unpaid) and a pre-payment 
which is the remainder of your first payment.

Select both of these (again using ctrl-click or shift-click). Since the payment should match your 
invoice, the transfer account should grey out and all that is left to do is click on the ok button.

Does that clarify it for you ?
