Thanks, 9pt was my original choice, but someone complained about this size.
In the meanwhile I got another problem.
The central page of this booklet should contain a text  which fits an
A4 sheet so we will have
[A5][A4, landscape] papersize on pages 1-8, 2-7, 3-6 and [A4,
rotated][A4,landscape] in pages 4-5.
My trivial code (obviously) doesn't work and searching wiki and ml
didn't give much help:

\setuppapersize[A5][A4, landscape]
\setuparranging[2UP]
\startpostponing[4]
\setuppapersize[A4,rotated][A4,landscape]
\input knuth
\page
\stoppostponing
\startext
\dorecurse{50}{\input hawking}
\stoptext

How can I achieve the desired result?

Thanks in advance
