1. reset is a keyword for \setuplayout (single argument version) and not a name for a predefined layout
2. You can’t define layouts for page ranges (e.g. 2-last), only page numbers (e.g. 2,5, or -3), names (e.g. mylayout) and keywords (e.g. first, last, odd and even) are possible.
3. The width of a paragraph is fixed and tex doesn’t changed the width of the part which is moved to the next page (there are a fix tricks to work around this limitation but they work only when you have a text only document).
4. TeX has its limitations and you have to live with them, with LuaTeX there are ways to get rid of a few of them but it takes time to write the necessary code
