What problem?  You're absolutely wrong about this.  GnuCash absolutely
handles this case.  The only issue is that you can only control
the FIRST invoice that gets paid; the rest are automatically filled
in FIFO order.  So if you have invoices A, B, C, and D there's
no way you can get it to pay C and D; any payment will get applied
the A and then B (and then C).  But you could put something else
up front, so e.g. you could tell it to pay C first, so you'd get
C then A.
