I normally use the `fit` key with an appropriate value of `distance`. For example:

\showframe[text][text]

\starttext

\startitemize[n,fit,broad][distance=0.25em,itemalign=flushright]
\dorecurse{1}{\startitem xxx\stopitem}
\stopitemize

\page

\startitemize[n,fit,broad][distance=0.25em,itemalign=flushright]
\dorecurse{11}{\startitem xxx\stopitem}
\stopitemize

\page

\startitemize[n,fit,broad][distance=0.25em,itemalign=flushright]
\dorecurse{111}{\startitem xxx\stopitem}
\stopitemize

\stoptext
