Welcome to GnuCash!

Unfortunately I don't think this is possible in the current gnucash release. 
The csv importer has been reworked recently to be able to manage multi-split 
transactions. However this will only be released as part of the 2.8 release 
later this year.

If you're adventurous there are test builds available for Windows [1] and 
Fedora Linux [2] (although I note the latter is apparently failing currently, 
I'd have to check why). If you're on either platform you could test the new 
functionality on a backup of your data and provide feedback about how it 
works.
