That *does* postpone the start of the table to the next page indeed,
but the splitting doesn't work well: the first page of the table shows
a much smaller part of it than is available on the page and leaves the
rest of the page empty. Please try the example below. Sorry for it
being so long, I tried tried to use:

\repeat[80*{just some text before the table}]

but that resulted in an error:
! Extra \fi.
l.13 \repeat
            [80*{just some text before the float.  just some text before the...

Now here's my example:

%format=en
\starttext
\repeat[80*{just some text before the float.  just some text before the float.}]
