To be honest, I can't still decipher the reason why the line is not broken...

We basically need:
<text><glue min-width='XX' max-width='hsize-3*indent'>

and I thought this is exactly what \parfillskip ensures
\parfillskip XX plus (hsize - 3*indent)

Or is it impossible in TeX to achieve such rule?

Are there other ways? I can think of:
<text><space width='XX'><glue min-width='0' max-width='hsize-3*indent-XX'>

But in this case that space at the end can be completely swallowed (by negative glue). I've tried it in the following example, but there is another problem from page 58 - blank line. But my TeX interpretation of the above pseudo code may be inappropriate...

\showmakeup

\starttext

\setupindenting[yes, 30pt]

\edef\ward{\cldloadfile{ward}}

%\setupalign[verytolerant,stretch]

\dorecurse{100}{
     \hsize\dimexpr\textwidth-#1mm\relax
     \dimen0=\dimexpr\availablehsize-3\parindent
     \advance\dimen0 by -\parindent

     \parfillskip \zeropoint plus \dimen0
     \ward\hbox to 10pt{}

     \ward\hbox to 10pt{}

     \startnarrower[left]
        \parfillskip \zeropoint plus \dimen0
        \ward\hbox to 10pt{}

        \parfillskip \zeropoint plus \dimen0
        \ward\hbox to 10pt{}

     \stopnarrower

     \page
}

\stoptext

Any idea?
