maybe you want (copied from core-ref):

%D \starttypen
%D \definereferenceformat[informula]  [left=(,right=),text=formula]
%D \definereferenceformat[informulas] [left=(,right=),text=formulas]
%D \definereferenceformat[andformula] [left=(,right=),text=and]
%D \definereferenceformat[andformulas][left=(,right=),text=and]
%D
%D \informula [b] and \informula [for:c]
%D the \informula {formulas}[b] \informula {and} [for:c]
%D the \informulas {formulas}[b] \informula {and} [for:c]
%D the \informulas [b] \informula {en} [for:c]
%D the \informulas [b] \andformula [for:c]
%D \stoptypen
%D
%D Instead of a text, one can specify a label, which should
%D be defined with \type {\setuplabeltext}.
