Hi Richard
I can only tell you what I usually do. My figures normally reside in
an external file. At the bottom of this file I add;
\starttext
\startTEXpage
\useMPgraphic{graphicnameA}
\stopTEXpag
\startTEXpage
\useMPgraphic{graphicnameB}
\stopTEXpag
\stoptext
In this way I get each graphic on a page cropped to the size of the
original MP-image.
Kind regards
Willi
