Hi To my knowledge Gnucash does not have the ability to generate splits between accounts for sharing expenses automatically. When you enter a transaction it is usually in the register for the account you are drawing from. A default account for the other split of the transaction is generally suggested and is selectable from a drop down list. The default for any transaction is a two split i.e one debit entry and the corresponding credit entry. Additional splits to other accounts are created by tabbing to the next line, selecting an account and entering the amount which is debited or credited to that account.
There is a new CSV importer being developed for the next release to replace the current fairly simple csv importer which may be able to import multi-split data. Maybe one of the developers can comment on that . If it is, then you could generate the splits in a spreadsheet, and then import them. There is also the ability to use formulas in scheduled transactions which may be ok in dealing with recurring expenses. i have not used this feature at all so i don't know if it will meet your needs The following FAQ has links to the documentation (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Scheduled_Transactions) and some discussions on this which may help (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_use_variables_and_formula_in_scheduled_transactions.3F).
