If you want all rows double height except the first, just do it the other way around.
\setupTABLE[r][each][height=0.7in]
and then for the first row:
\bTR[height=0.35in]
Then it's only 2 digits to change :)

[nr=X] is for a cell spanning X rows. Hint: nr=number rows. So you'll get a single cell that reaches down X rows. it's not meant to be used to adjust the height of a row.

Check this out, lots of examples: http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/enattab.pdf
