That's a non-trivial change which I don't want to get into right now. 
What I do in similar circumstances is download the transactions into a 
QFX file and import them into GnuCash.  This produces 30 or 40 separate 
transactions each time, rather than one master transaction, but it 
seems to work ok.  I still have to enter some transactions manually, 
but this still saves me a fair amount of work.

If you want this suggestion to be preserved for future consideration, 
you should file an enhancement request in BugZilla.

PS: I pushed a new version of the report tonight that fixes a minor bug 
in the code I just added.  It was ignoring the date of the report.
