[GNC] Multi split transactions using csv import

Hi,

I've been scratching my head on how to do this for a significant time so
hoping someone can help...

I have transactions that I have downloaded from a site, and that I would
like to import into gnucash using a csv.

Each transaction is a row and in columns I have a total credit, balanced by
the sum of two debits.

Normally when I'm trying to work out what my import file needs to look like
I enter an example transaction manually and then download the transaction
list from that sub account to give me an idea of what I would need to do.
Having done that, and what I can gather from the documentation, it looks
like split transaction entries are meant to be entered as rows one after
the other. This would be painful for me as I have the necessary data in
columns and I can't work out an easy way of transposing the data to
individual rows.

So my question - can the csv import work for me if I'm looking to upload
one row for a split transaction? (i.e. one credit balanced by two debits).
If so, what does it look like?

Thanks in advance for your help.
