Sorry, I got not yet experienced with columnsets, but it should work like this 
(sample of the header field of a multi column layout):

\definecolumnset[five][n=5,distance=6mm]
\definecolumntextarea	[mytitlefiedl] [right][x=1,y=1,nx=4,ny=18]
\definecolumntextarea	[mytitlefield] [left] [x=2,y=1,nx=4,ny=18]

\startbuffer[sample]
Name Author
\title{My Title}
Some Preface
\stopbuffer
\setupcolumntextareatext [mytitlefield] [right][{\getbuffer[sample]}]

Hint: Define a columnset whose column width fits n-times in both of your 
desired text columns. Define column text areas for them.
x = start in set column x
y = start in grid line y
nx = span nx set columns
ny = span ny grid lines

As following you get five slim columns (as defined above):
\startcolumnset[five]
\stopcolumnset
