If you know the width of the first column and total width, then you can use arithmetic, as in the example below. But perhaps this already occurred to you, and you were wondering if the widths and stretching can be handled automatically -- the short answer is I don't know.
\starttext
\setupTABLE[c][1][width={2cm}]
\setupTABLE[c][2][width={\dimexpr(\textwidth-2cm)/3\relax}]
\setupTABLE[c][3][width={\dimexpr(\textwidth-2cm)* 2 / 3\relax}]
\startTABLE
\NC One \NC Two \NC Three \NC\NR
\NC A \NC B \NC C \NC\NR
\stopTABLE
\stoptext

For example, suppose I have a table with three columns and I want to set the width of the first column to a fixed amount, and split the remaining space between columns two and three in a 1:2 ratio.
