No. Adding some runtimepath only adds some runtimepath and not anything else you have not explicitly specified.

If you need to add more then one path and these paths are contained as subfolders in a set of folders then you should use pathogen or construct something on top of glob() (use let &runtimepath in this case, this way you only need to escape() backslash and comma).

Check out NeoBundle and vim-addon-manager for more advanced plugin management options.
