I’ve been using inbetween={\blank[small]} for all the other analogous lists but this one is longer and with that spacing, it goes about one inch onto the next page.  But if I use packed, the list is way too crammed together and there’s about 2.5 inches of extra space on the page!

\blank understands an arbitrary measure, e.g. \blank[3pt] or \blank[0.25em]

Probably also \blank[0.5*small] works (didn’t check, but \blank[3*big] works).

Otherwise see https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/blank
