Yes. Although note that it depends on what they contain: package One
from profile A can be exclusive with package Two from profile B.
Therefore, combining profile A and B to create on the fly a new profile
containing both the packages One and Two can lead to issues if packages
One and Two are incompatible; aside potential issues with incompatible
propagated-inputs.
Does it make sense?

For instance, I have ~/.guix-profile containing few things and then many
other profile living in ~/.config/guix/profiles/; one for Emacs, one for
compilers, one for TeX, one for various applications, etc.

For switching, as said earlier in this thread, there is various options.
