When you put horizontal material in a \vbox the width of the box uses
the value of \hsize before you opened it. You can make now a local
change of \hsize in the box or just use another \framed for the table
(or put the two smaller tables in a larger one).
\starttext
\startframed[offset=overlay,width=max]
\startframed[frame=off,strut=no,offset=0pt,width=fit]
\bTABLE[width=2cm]
\dorecurse{10}{\bTR\bTD x \eTD\bTD y \eTD\eTR}
\eTABLE
\stopframed
\hskip1cm
\startframed[frame=off,strut=no,offset=0pt,width=fit]
\bTABLE[width=2cm]
\dorecurse{10}{\bTR\bTD x \eTD\bTD y \eTD\bTD z \eTD\eTR}
\eTABLE
\stopframed
\stopframed
\stoptext
