All the = suggestions you have received are good, but ultimately you might =  
want to look at the spaces that Unicode provides, for example = 202F. Not  
sure sure which Unicode space character best suits = your needs, but once  
you have determined that, you can map it = to one of the commands suggested  
by others, or even define it = to the exact width you want. For example, I  
use imacron = (U+012B) so much that it clashes with other characters. So I =  
map it to an alternate version that has a thinner = macron:

\defineactivecharacter =C4=AB = {\fontchar{imacron.alt}}

So what you want is a unicode space = character that you can enter in your  
editor, then define it in = ConTeXt to exactly what you want.

fyi: the list = that Wolfgang shows with verbose space names ... these are 
in = fact unicode characters.

Thanks to both of = you for pointing this out to me. 
Up till now I have = never used unicode characters the way Idris proposes and I=E2=80=99m not = sure that I already have the skills to make it work. =  
For the moment I=E2=80=99m quite happy with the many = possibilities that were given by Wolfgang and = Hans.
