When you are reconciling you are reconciling a particular account (a
bank account for example) usually against a statement.  It is those
parts of the split that are reconciled.  If, for example, the
transaction was actually a transfer from one bank account (A) to
another (B) then reconciling A against a statement on that account
should not reconcile the split against account B.  That will be
separately reconciled against another statement.  It is not normally
necessary to reconcile Expense accounts.

Not sure what you mean.
