I looked now in the files where the layout for the standard classes in latex
is defined and it's a mess to reproduce them in context because all values
depend on the papersize and fontsize and it takes a lot of code (even with
etex’s \dimexpr) because there are checks whether a calculated dimensions
exceeds a fixed limit.

This is how the layout for a document with a fontsize of 10pt looks:

\definelayout
  [latex10]
  [width=\ifdim\dimexpr\paperwidth-2in\relax>345pt\relax 345pt\else\dimexpr\paperwidth-2in\relax\fi, % \paperwidth-2in or 345pt, use the smaller value
   backspace=\dimexpr(\paperwidth-\textwidth)/2-1in\relax,
   leftmargindistance=7pt,
   leftmargin=,
   topspace=,
   header=12pt,
   headerdistance=.25in,
   height=,
   footer=,
   footerdistance=,]
