Correction to what I write below:

There is a utility called NTFS links that can create NTS soft links and
this way you could even "mount" another drive in a subdirectory of the
plugins folder! (Did not try it myself!)

Hi there,

at least under an unix-ish operating system/file system there is no real
problem to set a (soft/hard) link so that the 2nd directory would appear
and behave as a subdirectory of the regular plugins folder.

Interestingly, NTFS has a "hard link" support too, but there seems to be no
GUI or command line support. Also it seems - in contrast to unix filesystem
- that NTFS hard linking only works
within ONE filesystem, not accross any of the mounted filesystems as with
Unix.

No.  ImageJ only supports one plugin folder.
