Can you see where your left table is?
\setuppapersize[A4][A3,landscape]
\setuplayout[location=middle]
\showframe
\starttext
\startframed[offset=overlay,width=max]
\ruledvbox\bgroup
\bTABLE[width=2cm]
\dorecurse{10}{\bTR\bTD x \eTD\bTD y \eTD\eTR}
\eTABLE
\egroup
\hskip1cm
\ruledvbox\bgroup
\bTABLE[width=2cm]
\dorecurse{10}{\bTR\bTD x \eTD\bTD y \eTD\bTD z \eTD\eTR}
\eTABLE
\egroup
\stopframed
\stoptext
