Weirder still.

\definepapersize[large][a3,landscape]
\definepapersize[small][a4,portrait]
\setuppapersize[large]
\starttext
\externalfigure[foo.pdf]
\page\setuppapersize[small]
\externalfigure[bar.pdf]
\stoptext

The first page is now 11.69x11.69 inch and the second page is a4, but landscape

So, let's make sure I use both layout size and print size in my definitions

\definepapersize[large][a3,landscape][a3,landscape]
\definepapersize[small][a4,portrait][a4,portrait]
\setuppapersize[large]
\starttext
\externalfigure[foo.pdf][factor=fit]
\page\setuppapersize[small]
\externalfigure[bar.pdf][factor=fit]
\stoptext

Now both pages are a4 landscape. Another go:

\setuppapersize[a3,landscape][a3,landscape]
\starttext
\externalfigure[BoudewijndeHaasOpgave2Totaalview.pdf][factor=fit]
\page\setuppapersize[a4,portrait][a4,portrait]
\externalfigure[FredRademakerOpgave2Totaalview.pdf][factor=fit]
\stoptext

Both a4 landscape again.

Does this stuff work at all? Another go

\setuppapersize[A3,landscape][A3,landscape]
\starttext
\externalfigure[foo.pdf][factor=fit]
\page\setuppapersize[A4,portrait][A4,portrait]
\externalfigure[bar.pdf][factor=fit]
\stoptext

Hmm, this works. I originally used lower case a4 and a3, as I saw that in an example somewhere. But somewhere else I saw A3, A4 etc.
