I don't know enough about ConTeXt to declare this The Right Way(tm), but
here's one way that Works For Me(tm):
\starttext
\newdimen\mydimen
\mydimen=1in
\hbox{\framed[height=\mydimen,width=1in]{before}
\advance\mydimen by 55mm
\framed[height=\mydimen,width=1in]{after}}
\stoptext

Hello Paul,
I think
backspace=\dimexpr(55mm+1in)
should work.
Best regards, Micke P

This sometimes works but correct syntax is
backspace=\dimexpr 55mm+1in \relax
