you can do that with \leaders in tex code, but nicer is:
\startuniqueMPgraphic{WhatARule}{length,linewidth,color}
draw
origin -- (\MPvar{length},0)
dashed evenly % change this to what you want
withpen pencircle scaled \MPvar{linewidth}
withcolor \MPcolor{\MPvar{color}} ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\setMPvariables
[WhatARule]
[length=6\bodyfontsize, % 4cm,
linewidth=1pt,
color=red]
\def\WhatARule
{\dontleavehmode\struttedbox{\uniqueMPgraphic{WhatARule}}}
\starttext
\dostepwiserecurse{4}{12}{1}
{\expanded{\switchtobodyfont[\recurselevel pt]}
test \par \WhatARule \par test}
\stoptext
