ConTeXt uses spacebefore and spaceafter keys to adjust the spacing around
formulas. The values of these keys are fed to `\blank[...]` so they can be
any value that `\blank[...]` accepts (none, small, medium, big, etc., or a
valid TeX dimen)
So, you should use something like
\setupformulas[spacebefore=..., spaceafter=...]
or if you only want to change the space around specific formulas
\defineformula[big][spacebefore=big,spaceafter=big]
and then use
\startbigformula ... \stopbigformula.
