Depends on the situation, for left aligned numbers it didn't matter
because
you can't see where the space comes from (1) but for right aligned numbers
you need a postive value for distance (2).
(1) Left aligned number:
\starttext
\bTABLE[frame=off]
\bTR\bTD[width=1cm] 1 \eTD\bTD header \eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\bTABLE[frame=off,distance=5mm]
\bTR\bTD[width=5mm] 1 \eTD\bTD header \eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
(2) Right aligned number:
\starttext
\bTABLE[frame=off]
\bTR\bTD[width=1cm,align=flushright] 1 \eTD\bTD header \eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\bTABLE[frame=off,distance=5mm]
\bTR\bTD[width=5mm,align=flushright] 1 \eTD\bTD header \eTD\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext
I'm impressed...
So you really have an MBA in Klingon!  :O)

just try it on long entries .. it prevents too long lines

Ok I see. Now, in \placecontent or \setuplist, which parameter
allows to influence where long lines are cut off in two (or more) ?
Like...
(number) This long long
chapter title                       (pagenumber)
vs.
(number) This long
long chapter title                (pagenumber)
Using the brute force tactic I tried setting width and textwith which
didn't
work.
It could be textcommand. If so what does \command#1 mean ( see main
manual pg 150 ) ?
The effect for maxwidth (3cm in my example) is this:
\starttext
\limitatetext {This long long chapter title} {3cm} {\unknown}
\stoptext

I just tried with
style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\setuplinewidth[(x)pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]}
\starttext

\framed{text}

\thinrule

\setuplinewidth[small]

\framed{text}

\thinrule

\setuplinewidth[1cm]

\framed{text}

\thinrule

\stoptext
...
and several values for (x) in
\startinteractionmenu[myMenu]
 \placecontent[
    criterium=all,
    alternative=b,
%    style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]},
style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\setuplinewidth[150pt]\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]},
    interaction=all,
    before={\blank[small]\startnarrower[left,right]},
    after={\stopnarrower\blank[medium]}]
\stopinteractionmenu
but that generates a compile error. Grrr...
You could try

style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\hsize.8\hsize\relax\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]},

or

style={\switchtobodyfont[small]\hsize150pt\relax\setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex]},

The better way is to define you own list alternative.

\define[3]\ChapterList
  {\hbox
     {\hbox to .5em{#1}\hskip.5em
      \vtop{\hsize150pt\relax#2}%
      \hfil#3}}

\setuplist[chapter][alternative=command,command=\ChapterList]
