Have a look at setlayout, you will need to add a NULL entry to
Layout[] in config.h and then write a very similar function to
setlayout() that iterates over layouts[] (starting at
selmon->lt[selmon->sellt]) and calls setlayout() as result, something
along the lines:

void
nextlayout(const Arg *arg) {
    Layout *l;
    for(l = layouts; l != selmon->lt[selmon->sellt]; l++);
    if(l && *(l+1))
        setlayout(l+1);
    else
        setlayout(layouts);
}

Note, this is untested, but should give you an idea how to achieve
what you want. It'll be crucial to NULL terminate layouts in config.h
to make this work.
