Why not just increase the value of leftoffset and rightoffset?

\definetextbackground[FramedText][
         location=paragraph,
         color=black,
         background=color,
         backgroundcolor=blue:2,
         framecolor=green:2,
         leftoffset=1cm,
         rightoffset=1cm,
         style=italic,
         corner=round,
         frame=on]

\starttext

\startFramedText
\input knuth \endgraf
\stopFramedText

\stoptext
