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

Did you mean /etc/network/interfaces AND /etc/network/interfaces.d/wlp3s0 each 
must have the following contents:

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug wlp3s0
iface wlp3s0 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

source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d

What did you mean by source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d ? I am a bit 
confused.

Best regards.

My /etc/network/interfaces has:
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d


and then in /etc/network/interfaces.d I have a separate file for each
interface I want to configure.
