iOS 5 recently added Twitter and Facebook fields for contacts, and this was also incorporated into iCloud. However, it seems that you can only add one Twitter (and Facebook) account per contact, which is rather inconvenient as I know several people who have 2 Twitter accounts.
Is there a way to add a second Twitter field to iOS Contacts or iCloud? I know I could add a twitter:@username URL, but I was wondering if it's possible to natively add a second account.
Developers access your Twitter accounts through the Accounts framework.
When an app requests access to your accounts, it uses the requestAccessToAccountsWithType:withCompletionHandler: method. (The only supported account type is currently ACAccountTypeIdentifierTwitter.) This grants access to all accounts of that type.
Therefore, unfortunately, apps can't request access to only a single account — you have to give access to all of your Twitter accounts.
What you're looking at in your first screenshot are the Instant Message fields. The second screenshot shows the so called Profile field. The Profile field seems to be the same as the Twitter field. So, if you want to add a Twitter handle to any contact go to Card > Add Field > Twitter (or Profile). This works even if there's no Twitter match for that contact.
Alternatively, you can display the Twitter field by default by editing the card Template.

It is possible to assign multiple twitter ids to a contact. You have 2 ways of achieving this. Through iOS or through the Address Book app on Mac OS.
On iOS 5 you can add multiple Twitter accounts to a contact on the device like this:
When you already have a Twitter account field you can't add another one like this anymore. Instead you will have to do as follow:
You can repeat this procedure for additional accounts.
This doesn't seem very intuitive at first, but it looks like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Myspace and Flickr are simply subcategories for a dedicated "social network" field and are managed just like other multiple entries fields on the device:
On Mac OS using the Address Book Application. Select the contact you want to edit, edit it.
Card -> Add Field -> Twitter...Repeat as many times as needed.
Your contacts will sync shortly afterward.
