Is \limitatetext a option for you because unlike \doboundtext the 
command is unexpandable?

\starttext

\doboundtext {Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new 
system ...}{.5\textwidth}{...}

\limitatetext{Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new 
system ...}{.5\textwidth}{...}

\stoptext
