\setupfloat[figure] sets the values of \startplacefigure (and 
\placefigure), and not for \externalfigure. The width value for 
startplacefigure is not used anywhere.

The default value of \setupfloats[width=...] is used when the float box is 
empty. So, the only scenario where the value of \setupfloats[width=...] 
will matter is the following:

\starttext
\setupfloats[width=2cm]
\placefloat{}{}

\setupfloats[width=10cm]
\placefloat{}{}
\stoptext
