because these lists don't inherit (ancient downward compatibility) btui 
i'll at leat at these to strc-def.mkiv:

\setuplist [\v!subsubsubsubsubsection] [\c!width=8\emwidth]
\setuplist [\v!subsubsubsubsubsubsection] [\c!width=9\emwidth]
\setuplist [\v!subsubsubsubsubsubsubsection] [\c!width=10\emwidth]
\setuplist [\v!subsubsubsubsubsubsubsubsection] [\c!width=11\emwidth]
\setuplist [\v!subsubsubsubsubsubsubsubsubsection] [\c!width=12\emwidth]

\setuplist[subsection]   [margin=4em,width=fit,distance=1em]
\setuplist[subsubsection][margin=5em,width=fit,distance=1em]

ect

the "stopper" parameter can be used, and one can define at the head and 
list level (i think that there are some examples in the test suite)

\setuplist[chapter][before=,after=]

\definehead[A][chapter]

and add A to the combined list
