I have the following code. How can I make the number and text centered as
if they were a single block?

\setuppapersize[letter]
\setuplayout[tight]
\setupbodyfont[ibmplex,rm,10pt]

\showboxes

\setuphead
  [section]
  [style=\bfc\ss,
   align={tight,middle},
   indentnext=yes,
   width=0.75\textwidth,
   margin=\dimexpr(\textwidth - 0.75\textwidth)/2\relax,
   color=darkred]

\starttext

\dorecurse{10}{
  \startsection
     [title={Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and
             typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's
             standard dummy text ever since the 1500s}]
  \input knuth
  \stopsection
}

\stoptext

You can use "alternative=paragraph" for \setuphead but it ignores the 
width setting.

To get centered text and a shorter text width you have to create you own 
layout for the title:

\define[2]\SectionCommand
   {\vbox\bgroup
      \headsetupspacing
      \hsize=.75tw
      \begstrut#1\nobreakspace#2\endstrut
    \egroup}

\setuphead
   [section]
   [style=\ss\bfc,
    align=middle,
    indentnext=yes,
    margin=.125tw,
    command=\SectionCommand,
    color=darkred]
