I'm afraid Chris's suggestion doesn't work. Whenever I try to edit the payment to cover the $136 penalty, it marks the main payment as "unpaid". I still haven't found the trick for 'splitting' a single payment to cover multiple invoices, although it seems that this should be a common scenario. I'm using Gnucash 3.8 Build ID: 3.8b+(2019-12-29) on Ubuntu Studio 20.04 LTS.

Find the prepayment in the AP or bank register, right click, edit payment,
and use it to clear the later invoice.

I was late with my property taxes this year and incurred a penalty. I
had earlier entered the billed amount as an invoice payable to the tax
collector. I finally got the funds together to pay the amount, including
penalty, in full. I entered it as one payment transaction, of course,
since it was one e-check, and now it's showing up in my "Accounts
Payable" as two transactions, one for the remaining billed amount (I had
made partial payments earlier), and a separate transaction for $136.63
representing the penalty and interest which appears as an unassigned
pre-payment.

OK so far. Well, now that I know the total penalty I entered another
invoice for that amount. Fine. Now I want to pay the invoice with the
pre-payment. I go to the payment screen and the pre-payment shows up
there. But I can find no way to apply it to the new invoice. How do I
close this [expletive!] out?
