Hi William,

use

\setupfloatsplitting[conversions=numbers]

and

\setupcaptions[way=bytext]

The 1.1 is the normal float numbering, the 1, b, ... are the numbers
of every part of the splitted float.

This seems to be not supported but you can try to look into core-tsp.tex,
the module where float splitting is implemented.
