kind of; an alternative is:
\startlinecorrection % needed anyway
\setlocalhsize \hsize\localhsize
\dontleavehmode \bTABLE
\setupTABLE[column][1][width=0.3\hsize]
\setupTABLE[column][2][width=0.7\hsize]
\bTR\bTD I was hoping\eTD
\bTD that this table would make itself narrower according to the
background offsets, like the text does. And now it does!\eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoplinecorrection
auto adaption is kind of tricky here because
