My MWE uses an image's width and height to discern whether it's wide, tall, or square. This works, but I feel I'm reinventing the wheel. Is there a more straightforward way to implement this? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Here is a suggestion :
\starttext
\startMPpage
	draw externalfigure "cow.pdf" xysized(10in,2in) ;
\stopMPpage
\stoptext

Just change for your pagesize the dimensions above.
