btw, floats are just that: floats ...

\starttext

     \useMPlibrary[dum]

     \dorecurse{34}{test\par}

     \bTABLE[split=yes]
         \dorecurse{10}{
             \bTR
                 \bTD \placefigure{}{\externalfigure[dummy][width=2cm]} \eTD
                 \bTD \placefigure{}{\externalfigure[dummy][width=2cm]} \eTD
             \eTR
             \bTR
                 \bTD[nx=2] 
\placefigure{}{\externalfigure[dummy][width=4cm]} \eTD
             \eTR
         }
     \eTABLE
