Using the \rotate command prevents breaking, Possibly you better use \setuppapersize[a4,landscape][a4,landscape], which of course rotates the whole layout including headers and footers. I am afraid, that once you include the table into a \placefigure environment, breaking is prevented. I was able to break a long table with a merged cell as you have it in the first column. However there is possibly a bug, because this column has no "bottomframe". In order to place the "LOW TECH" text correctly you might use a \framed command within the table \bTD[nr=7,align=lohi] \rotate[rotation=90]{\framed[frame=off, offset=.5em,align=center,width=3cm]{Low Tech}}\eTD AFAIK \placetable or \placefigure accepts a single caption only and will not break over pages.
