Chris, No, they have each radar type (and warnings) in a separate file. You just need to download the gif image you want every 5 minutes and serve it through mapserver (or something similar) and add it as a layer in OL. I've been doing this for 2 years now (though not with OL). Makes for an impressive demo.
One feature (if it isn't already there) that I would love to have added to the OpenLayers.Layer class would be an auto refresh interval, so that my maps would automatically reload a specific layer, without needing a recenter or other move.
