Hi Alan,

Sorry, I should have actually tried your MWE. You do *not* want
way=3Dbypage here, as that resets the counter to one at the start
of the next page (it is useful for footnotes that are numbered
per-page, but not for actual page counters).

\definecounter[volpage][type=3Dpage]
\starttext
\setcounter[volpage][5]
\dorecurse{3}{\startTEXpage[offset=3D2pc]
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 \input ward

=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 \centerline{\red\tfa\rawco= unter[volpage]\incrementcounter[volpage]}
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 \stopTEXpage}
