Yes, but it won't help. The problem is the number of "books" (with or without the actual book content) stored in CC, not the number of books in the one-or-more of calibre libraries. In option 2, when CC syncs with a library it will (of course, optionally) download the metadata for the books in that library. Sync with another library, and you will get the books from that one. They aggregate.

Ahhh ... I just realized the subquestion. You are asking "Can I change libraries from CC?". I have never thought of that, but it could be possible. However, this would be very weird for some poor soul using that instance of calibre at that moment, because it would switch in the GUI.
