The simplest way would be to pick some recent date, perhaps the beginning of 
last year, set the account’s opening balance to whatever it was on that date, 
and import only the transactions after that date.

You could also use a plain-text editor on the QIF file and use 
search-and-replace to convert all of the closed CC accounts to a single 
account, perhaps named “Old Credit Cards”.
