\setuppapersize[A0][oversized]
\setuplayout[location=middle,marking=on]
\setuplayout[page]
\definelayer[page][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\starttext
\startbuffer[a]
\input ward
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[b]
\input ward
\stopbuffer
\setlayerframed[page][preset=lefttop, x=2cm,y=2cm][width=5cm,align=normal]{\getbuffer[a]}
\setlayerframed[page][preset=rightbottom,x=2cm,y=2cm][width=6cm,align=normal]{\getbuffer[b]}
