I have seen a few semi-related questions, but nothing that hits this on the head:
The pattern is each solution contains several projects, each with several configurations. You can build all of those projects/configurations with the "Batch Build" feature.
Now I need a way to "Batch Build" several solutions at the same time (one command). My research seems to indicate that this is not directly possible. Any workarounds? I'm using VS 2013, if it matters.

I don't believe you can build multiple solutions within a single instance of Visual Studio; only projects.
However, I use msbuild to do just that. The following was tested with Visual Studio 2013 installed.
Create master.proj file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="12.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<ItemGroup>
<Solution Include="../**/*.sln">
<Properties>Configuration=Debug;Platform=Any CPU</Properties>
</Solution>
<Solution Include="../**/*.sln">
<Properties>Configuration=Release;Platform=Any CPU</Properties>
</Solution>
</ItemGroup>
<PropertyGroup>
<Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Debug</Configuration>
<Platform Condition=" '$(Platform)' == '' ">AnyCPU</Platform>
</PropertyGroup>
<Target Name="Build">
<MSBuild Projects="@(Solution)" BuildInParallel="true" Targets="Build" />
</Target>
<Target Name="Clean">
<MSBuild Projects="@(Solution)" BuildInParallel="true" Targets="Clean" />
</Target>
<Target Name="Rebuild">
<MSBuild Projects="@(Solution)" BuildInParallel="true" Targets="Rebuild" />
</Target>
</Project>
We're using the batching capability of msbuild to build different configurations (Release vs Debug) and platforms with one call. You can add other properties, like the architecture.
<ItemGroup>
<Solution Include="../**/*.sln">
<Properties>Configuration=Debug;Platform=Any CPU</Properties>
</Solution>
<Solution Include="../**/*.sln">
<Properties>Configuration=Release;Platform=Any CPU</Properties>
</Solution>
</ItemGroup>
To see how MSBuild resolves this, try the following:
<Target Name="Build">
<Message Text="%(Solution.Identity) -> %(Solution.Properties)" />
</Target>
You may see something like:
../ConsoleApplication1\ConsoleApplication1.sln -> Configuration=Debug;Platform=Any CPU
../ConsoleApplication2\ConsoleApplication2.sln -> Configuration=Debug;Platform=Any CPU
../ConsoleApplication3\ConsoleApplication3.sln -> Configuration=Debug;Platform=Any CPU
../ConsoleApplication1\ConsoleApplication1.sln -> Configuration=Release;Platform=Any CPU
../ConsoleApplication2\ConsoleApplication2.sln -> Configuration=Release;Platform=Any CPU
../ConsoleApplication3\ConsoleApplication3.sln -> Configuration=Release;Platform=Any CPU
In this case, the following
<Target Name="Build">
<MSBuild Projects="@(Solution)" BuildInParallel="true" Targets="Build" />
</Target>
Is almost like writing
<Target Name="Build">
<MSBuild Projects="../ConsoleApplication1\ConsoleApplication1.sln" BuildInParallel="true" Targets="Build" Properties="Configuration=Debug;Platform=Any CPU" />
<MSBuild Projects="../ConsoleApplication2\ConsoleApplication2.sln" BuildInParallel="true" Targets="Build" Properties="Configuration=Debug;Platform=Any CPU" />
<MSBuild Projects="../ConsoleApplication3\ConsoleApplication3.sln" BuildInParallel="true" Targets="Build" Properties="Configuration=Debug;Platform=Any CPU" />
<MSBuild Projects="../ConsoleApplication1\ConsoleApplication1.sln" BuildInParallel="true" Targets="Build" Properties="Configuration=Release;Platform=Any CPU" />
<MSBuild Projects="../ConsoleApplication2\ConsoleApplication2.sln" BuildInParallel="true" Targets="Build" Properties="Configuration=Release;Platform=Any CPU" />
<MSBuild Projects="../ConsoleApplication3\ConsoleApplication3.sln" BuildInParallel="true" Targets="Build" Properties="Configuration=Release;Platform=Any CPU" />
</Target>
Doing the latter isn't exactly the same. For example, the solutions will be built in serial, while the projects within those solutions will be built in parallel. But it gives you the idea of how batching works.
Here's the one command to build all the "Debug" and "Release" configurations.
msbuild master.proj /m:4 /ds
To ensure solutions (and not only their projects) are built in parallel, /m is required. The /ds will give you a detailed summary, so you can see whether its working or not.
The output on my machine is as follows:

There is a post that can help you discern what was built on what node.
You should also be aware that there are no dependencies between the solution. If there are, you'll have to be more creative. The MSDN documentation about using item metadata with task batching may help.
