How about ...
\setuppapersize
[A4,landscape]
[A4,landscape]
\setuplayout
[height=middle,width=middle,
header=0pt,footer=0pt,
topspace=1cm,
cutspace=1cm,backspace=3cm]
\newcounter\DirtyTrickCounter
\startsetups[verydirtytrick]
\doglobal\increment\DirtyTrickCounter
\ifodd\DirtyTrickCounter
\hbox to \overlaywidth{\hskip1cm\foregroundbox}
\fi
\stopsetups
\defineoverlay
[verydirtytrick]
[\setups{verydirtytrick}]
\starttext
\combinepages
[mag-0004-000.pdf]
[nx=2,ny=1,
background=verydirtytrick,
frame=on]
\stoptext
Dirty eh?
