So you're asking how to do a script with 5 cd commands and 5 start
script commands? What exactly is the problem? If you append your script
starting command with a & symbol, it'll start in the background and your
script can proceed to the next cd command and next script startup
command and so on.

Perhaps it'd be easier for you to just open five terminals and manually
start one of the five scripts in each. Keep the terminals around and you
can easily rerun the scripts.
Perhaps a note here, if your scripts mostly copy files around, running
the scripts in parallel may not go much faster if your storage is
already saturated by one of them.
