well, it involves some manual tweaking (numbers and such) and is not yet 100% ok
the next code shows a bit of balancing and columnstart/height manipulations
\starttext
\showgrid
\definecolumnset [two] [n=2,balance=top]
\definecolumnset [three] [n=3,balance=top]
\setupcolumnsetlines[two][1][1][15]
\setupcolumnsetlines[two][1][2][15]
\setupcolumnsetstart[three][1][1][15]
\setupcolumnsetstart[three][1][2][18]
\setupcolumnsetstart[three][1][3][20]
\setupcolumnsetlines[three][1][1][40]
\setupcolumnsetlines[three][1][2][40]
\setupcolumnsetlines[three][1][3][40]
\definecolumnsetspan[two]
% \starttext
% \startcolumnset [two] \dorecurse {1}{\input tufte \par} \stopcolumnset
% \startcolumnset [three] \dorecurse {2}{\input tufte \par} \stopcolumnset
% \stoptext
\starttext
\startcolumnset [two] \startcolumnsetspan[two] \input ward
\stopcolumnsetspan \dorecurse {1}{\input tufte \par} \stopcolumnset
\startcolumnset [three] \startcolumnsetspan[two] \input ward
\stopcolumnsetspan \dorecurse {2}{\input tufte \par} \stopcolumnset
\stoptext
\stoptext
