Verbatim in arguments of other commands is tricky because in case with
\dorecurse the loop reads the content before it is passed to type, as a
result of this process all spaces are collapsed.
One way to work around this is to use a buffer for the content of the loop.
\startbuffer[type]
\type{a b c}
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\inlinebuffer[type]\par}
\stoptext
