I am wondering if it is possible to have multiple files in /etc/netctl such that if I want to connect to a different wireless network I can just type something like
netctl start otherwifiprofile

man netctl
"start" is not the proper command here ...

Do you mean roaming (starting/stopping profiles as you move between wireless networks)? Have a look at netctl wiki, this part in particular.
Or did you mean starting/stopping profiles manually? Then you want:
netctl stop oldwireless
netctl start newwireless
Bare in mind that the above will not enable wireless profile(s) at boot. Consult
man netctl
...and netctl wiki for more indepth info.
