- it may be achieved by Lua, when the table has been defined as a Lua variable:

----
\startluacode
   tab = { { "a", "b", },
           { "c", "d", },
           { "e", "f", },
           { "g", "h", },
         }
\stopluacode

\starttext
   \startluacode
     local rows1 = {}

     for i = 1, #tab, 3 do table.insert(rows1, i) end -- Define rules here - setup first set of rows

     context.setupTABLE({"row"}, rows1, {background = "color", backgroundcolor = "gray"})

     context.bTABLE()
       for i, r in ipairs(tab) do
         context.bTR()
           for j, d in ipairs(r) do
             context.bTD()
               context(d)
             context.eTD()
           end
         context.eTR()
       end
     context.eTABLE()
   \stopluacode
\stoptext
----

Best regards,

Lukas
