Hi Keith,
I think the following sample might achieve what you want:
\showframe
\setupexternalfigures[location={default}]
\setuplayout
[backspace=2.5cm,
topspace=1cm,
height=28cm,
width=17cm,
header=0cm,
footer=0.75cm,
]
\definelayer[test3]
%[x=.5\paperwidth, y=.5\paperheight]
[x=.5\textwidth, y=.5\textheight]
%\setupbackgrounds[page]
\setupbackgrounds[text]
[background=test3]
\starttext
\setlayer[test3][location={middle}]
\framed[offset=overlay]{{\startcombination[nx=3,ny=1,distance=15mm]
{\externalfigure[cow][width=15mm]}{}
\rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[cow][width=15mm]}{}
{\externalfigure[cow][width=15mm]}{}
\stopcombination}}
\null
\stoptext
BTW, A4 portrait is the default page size.
\setupbackgrounds is the standard way to place layers.
Page and text centering would require different positions (I have
commented out the option for page centering).
I hope it helps (since I’m not sure I’m getting your point here),
Pablo
