How do I create a page with maximum text width, text height? I tried using \setuplayout with stuff like [textwidth=\pagewidth-1cm], but nothing happens. I need empty pages with minimum margins, just to be able to put other PDF's in that space.

\setuplayout[page], or if you want to do this for only one page,
\adaptlayout[page]

I was already trying a lot of stuff with \setuplayout. I've found mentioning somewhere that you can adapt the backspace, topspace, height and width.So it must be something like
\setuplayout[backspace=1cm,topspace=1cm,height=\paperheight,width=\paperwidth] but I forgot how to do something like width=\paperwidth-2cm (not like that obviously, but I have forgotten how to do simple addition and subtraction with dimensions in TeX)
So, how do I set a margin of 1cm all around the makeup area?

See TeXbook p. 118f.

Does the following fit your needs?
·································································
\newdimen\myborderoffset \myborderoffset=1cm
\definelayout[mypage][page]
\setuplayout [mypage][
backspace=\myborderoffset,
topspace=\myborderoffset,
]
\setuplayout[mypage]
\showframe
\def\docowpage{%
\rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[cow][width=\vsize,height=\hsize]}\page%
}
\starttext
\dorecurse{5}{\docowpage}
\stoptext
·································································

Thanks.
My external figures are PDFs with all weird sizes, the smaller ones, I want to print on portrait A4 (if they are more landscape than portrait, they will be rotated) and the larger ones on landscape A3 (again, rotated when they are more portrait than landscape). Distorting is not allowed. So far I am doing stuff like
\externalfigure[foo.pdf][factor=max]
\page\setuppapersize[A4,portrait][A4,portrait]
\setuplayout[backspace=10mm,topspace=10mm,width=277mm,height=190mm,header=5mm,footer=1mm]
\externalfigure[bar.pdf][orientation=90]
\page\setuppapersize[A3,landscape][A3,landscape]
\setuplayout[backspace=10mm,topspace=10mm,width=400mm,height=277mm,header=5mm,footer=1mm]
\externalfigure[foobar.pdf][factor=max]
\externalfigure[foo2.pdf][orientation=90]
\externalfigure[foo3.pdf][orientation=90]
But thanks to your suggestion, I am now doing
\rotate[rotation=90]{\externalfigure[foo.pdf][width=\vsize]}
The 'orientation' stuff of external figure doesn't work at all. It messes up size to fit and it rotates around points such that images are rotated partly out of the page. Your method works.
