Hi Jan,

I don’t know exactly what you want to achieve, but a possible solution is to put a column between the first and the last columns which contains only the spacement between the first column and the third one.
Here is an example:

%%% begin example-1.tex
\starttext

\setupformulas[align=flushleft]
\startformula
	\startalign[n=3,align={left,middle}]
       	\NC \text{Text1}\NC \qquad    \NC E = mc^2    \NR
       	\NC \text{This is an explanation}\NC\qquad    \NC  E = mc^2    \NR
       	\NC \text{This is a longer explanation}\NC\qquad    \NC E = mc^2    \NR
	\stopalign
\stopformula

\stoptext
%%% end example-1.tex

Best regards: OK
