The caption can be forced to the same width as the image with the \setupcaption command,
the vertical alignment of the images/text can be controlled with the location key but you have
to ensure both images have the same height.

\useMPlibrary[dum]

\starttext

\startplacefigure[location=nonumber]
	\setupcaption[figure][width=max]
	\startfloatcombination[location=top]
		\startplacefigure[title={Some description of A which spans multiple lines}]
			\externalfigure[A][width=4cm]
			%\framed[frame=off,offset=none,width=.5\textwidth]{\externalfigure[A][width=4cm]}
		\stopplacefigure
		\startplacefigure[title={Some description of B}]
			\externalfigure[B][width=4cm]
			%\framed[frame=off,offset=none,width=.5\textwidth]{\externalfigure[B][width=4cm]}
		\stopplacefigure
	\stopfloatcombination
\stopplacefigure

\stoptext
