Ok.

I see my proposal was a bit misleading. While exporting and re-importing in 
gnucash is the most straightforward method, because it comes with a preset for 
this, you can also import other multi-split csv data. In that case you need to 
set the columns in the importer gui manually to match the exact format of your 
data, but the flexibility is there now.
