A budget is not a payment schedule. So for your loan payment, you can enter
the amortization (that is the liability account) and the interest (that is
the expense) as estimate for the whole year or more fine grained on a
monthly basis if you want to have the super accurate budgeting. But that is
usually not needed. The monthly budget is not tied to the number of payments.
Budgeting nowadays even support a roll over into the following month on the
reporting side. Not sure if that has been backported to the stable version but
it sure is in master.

And one thing is sure: the budgeting will most likely not be backported to
the 5.1 branch.
