Not necessary, context can produce such files for you.
Example, using positioning macros, that shows also a problem with
vertical offset:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
% Produce A2-example:
\startbuffer[a2]
\setuppapersize[A2]
\setuplayout[page]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color, backgroundcolor=blue]
\starttext
\input tufte
\stoptext
\stopbuffer
\savebuffer[a2][a2-page.tex]
\executesystemcommand{context a2-page}
% Produce A4-example:
\startbuffer[a4]
\setuppapersize[A4]
\setuplayout[page]
\starttext
\input tufte
\stoptext
\stopbuffer
\savebuffer[a4][a4-page.tex]
\executesystemcommand{context a4-page}
% Do the job:
\setuppapersize[A2]
\setuplayout[page]
\setuppositioning[state=overlay,
yoffset=-12pt%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Why is this offset needed???
]
\starttext
\startpositioning
\position(0,0){\externalfigure[a2-page]}
\position(0,0){\framed[frame=off, offset=overlay, background=color,
backgroundcolor=white]{\externalfigure[a4-page]}}
\stoppositioning
\stoptext
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
