I do my best to make each transaction model the real-world event. So if the transaction looks like 2 checks instead of one (when there was only 1) then I'd edit the original credit to checking to reflect the full and proper amount and delete the second credit to checking and the transaction should still balance.

I'd do this just in case I would ever review this event in the future and not have to worry about being confused or something not matching up to external records.

But if you're happy with it and as long as everything works out for you, then it is fine to have two credits summing to the total of the check. (maybe add something to the Notes or Memos for your future self to document this)

Regards,
Adrien

Yes. And in my case, after editing the payment, rather than changing the 
*single* credit to reflect the correct amount Gnucash created a *second* credit 
for the difference (the amount of the correction). I had to manually set the 
account for that second credit to the “Checking” account in GJ.
