There is a variety of ways to do what you ask. Some involve tags, some
involve facts, and a few involve agent command-line options.
For example, you could leverage Facter's environment-defined facts or
stdlib's fact.d/ facts to communicate to the master via a fact that you
want to override the schedule, then use a conditional statement based on
the fact value to control whather class copy_file::now is included.
Alternatively, you could flip the places of classes copy_file and
copy_file::now to give you copy_file::scheduled and copy_file, so that the
base class does not declare a schedule, but the subclass overrides it to
do. Declare class copy_file::scheduled. I think then you can override the
schedule from the command line like so:
puppet agent --tags 'copy_file'
That should select the copy_file class but NOT the copy_file::sheduled
class that adds a schedule to it.

Or there's that, provided you spell it correctly: puppet agent
--ignoreschedules
(http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/latest/configuration.html#ignoreschedules).
With that you should be able to forget about subclassing altogether, but do
be aware that it will override ALL schedules. If that turns out to be an
issue then you could narrow the parts of your configuration to apply to
those bearing particular tags, maybe
puppet agent --ignoreschedules --tags copy_file
