It won't work.
When you attempt to use the 'assign as payment' function from the
context menu on an existing transaction, you get the pop-up to assign
the payment, you must first choose a single Customer/Vendor. While you
can apply the payment to more than one document, you can't apply it to
more than one Customer/Vendor.
If you try this a second time, you'll simply be re-assigning the payment
to the second customer/vendor and associated document(s).
That's a convenient way to correct an errant payment, but it precludes
the OP's use case.
Note, you can have more than one AR/AP split in a payment already,
that's what happens when you apply a single payment to multiple
documents, but those documents can't currently be owned by separate
customers/vendors. (That owner gets assigned as the 'Description' of the
Transaction)
I'd think the non-GnuCash pen&paper method is to use an intermediary
account.

You can file a bug report but it won't be implemented. The architecture
does not allow a single split in the A/R account to attach to reports from
different customers.
Theoretically you MAY be able to split the transaction on the A/R side,
and attach the different splits to different invoices of different
customers. But I'm not 100% sure THAT would work, either.
