\start-stopformula are for math display mode ($$-$$). Apparently having
display mode turned on within the buffer creates the extra space. Since
you are using combinations for your display there is no need for display
mode. The following works here:
===============
\startbuffer[one]
%\startformula
\startmatrix
\NC \NC e_1 \NC e_2 \NC e_3 \NC e_5 \NC e_5 \NR
\NC u \NC 0 \NC 1 \NC 1 \NC 0 \NC 1 \NR
\NC v \NC 1 \NC 0 \NC 1 \NC 0 \NC 0 \NR
\NC w \NC 1 \NC 1 \NC 0 \NC 1 \NC 0 \NR
\NC x \NC 0 \NC 0 \NC 1 \NC 0 \NC 1 \NR
\NC y \NC 1 \NC 0 \NC 0 \NC 1 \NC 0 \NR
\stopmatrix
%\stopformula
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\setupcombinations[distance=2cm]
\placefigure[here][fig:test]{Test of buffers}
{\startcombination[2*2]
% {\externalfigure[7starmagic1][width=.25\makeupwidth]}{G}
{\externalfigure[one.tmp]}{AA}
{\externalfigure[one.tmp]}{BB}
{\externalfigure[one.tmp]}{CC}
{\externalfigure[one.tmp]}{DD}
\stopcombination}
\stoptext
===============
Notice the \setupcombinations[distance=2cm] !
Best
