Haha. You want this in multi columns? TeX cannot do it, apart from the
usual hacks. But, you probably don't need multicolumns, try 

\definieeralineas  % \defineparagraphs

It does exactly what you want (and a bit more).

Just define a wide pagelayout. If you really need margin for another
purpose too, 
use 

\setuptexts [margin] [left margin stuff] [right margin stuff]

The stuff can go into a \vbox to \leftmarginwidth{}

etc etc,
