Jeremy, Generally when importing transactions to a specific account the second split for the transaction is generated during the import process in the Import Matching Window. This has an automatic process to try and identify transactions which may already exist in Gnucash so you don't create duplicates. It will also try and create a second split by trying to match tokenized data in the description, date and amount fields of the import data with data associated with transaction splits previously assigned to a specific account on previous imports and will try to assign an account on a probabilistic basis.These need to be checked prior to import as the training data is accumulated on import and will affect future import matching processing.
You can manually specify the second split account in the CSV on import by creating a column specifying the account but this is not generally necessary. GnuCash creates an import mapping of accounts specified in the import data to the accounts in the account heirarchy the first time data is imported from an externally specified account, so it is not necessary to use the full account heirarchy description in the imported data. You can also import data with more than two splits where necessary in the multiline format. The format of exported transactions is a good guide to how to set this up. Also this is described in the help manual https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/trans-import.html. The help manual is still a work in progress in this area after a recent rewrite of the CSV import process.
