So if you have this in your /etc/network/interfaces somewhere:

  ...
  ## Bahn ICE
  iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wireless-essid WIFIonICE
    wireless-mode Auto
  ...

(it's actually my current setting, BTW :) you could swap that
out to some file under interfaces.d.

The contents of my current /etc/network/interfaces file are:

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug wlp3s0
iface wlp7s0 inet static
       wpa-ssid JupiterRising
       wpa-psk {a long string of alphanumeric characters}
       address 192.168.1.99/24
       gateway 192.168.1.1
       # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
       dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8

Are you saying that I can cut out the above contents and paste them into a file 
called wlp7s0 (whose path is /etc/network/interfaces.d/)?

Yes, but you need to have this in /e/n/i

source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d
