With \setbox:
\setbox100=\vbox{%
\setupTABLE[...]
\bTABLE...\eTABLE%
}
ht=\the\ht100  ,  dp=\the\dp100 ,  wd= \the\wd100 
and you can determine the dimensions of your table.

But I think you need to setup x dimension, so

\setupTABLE[x][width=x\textwidth]

where x = 1/number_of_columns
(x=0.25 in your example, because you have 4 columns:
so you have
\setupTABLE[x][width=0.25\textwidth]
)
