You can use the float environment and disable the counter.

\starttext

\startplacefigure [location={none,split}]
     \startxtable
         \dorecurse{100}
            {\startxrow
                 \startxcell xxx \stopxcell
                 \startxcell xxx \stopxcell
             \stopxrow}
     \stopxtable
\stopplacefigure

\stoptext


Another option is framedtext which can be centered.

\starttext

\startframedtext [location=middle,width=fit,frame=off]
     \startxtable
         \startxrow
             \startxcell xxx \stopxcell
             \startxcell xxx \stopxcell
         \stopxrow
     \stopxtable
\stopframedtext

\stoptext

When you short table keeping them together can be better or do you want 
short tables with five rows to be split across pages.
