i'd just write a script that calls context like
context mystatement.tex --myjsonsection=1 --batch
context mystatement.tex --myjsonsection=2 --batch
context mystatement.tex --myjsonsection=3 --batch
etc .. maybe --once if no multipass is needed, or --runs=2 if you know
how many runs are needed
to stay in a run and kind of restart is asking for troubles because what
should be reset? of course i could context make do that buit it doesn't
pay off
an alternative that you generate one document with all statements and
use mutool to split of the pages
but anyway, nowadays machines are fast enough to have separate runs (and
one can run them in parallel)
