Why nx=6
Because of the layout of the booklet.  The area should fit over two
pages (= 6 columns).
ok

You can find the relevant pages
of the booklet at http://sopos.org/olli/armut-fail.pdf
If I understand well, you want
an automatic solution
instead of a manual solution like this one

 \defineoverlay [foregraphics]
[{\externalfigure[cow][width=5.8\textwidth,lines=41]}]
 \defineoverlay [backgraphics]
[{\externalfigure[mill][width=2\textwidth,lines=20]}]

   \definecolumnset[ergebnisse][n=3]
   \definecolumnsetarea
   [title][left]
   [x=1,y=1,nx=6,ny=42,page=2,state=start,background={backgraphics,foreground,foregraphics}]

   \setupcolumnsetareatext[title][left][{%
    \ruledhbox to \dimexpr 6\textwidth+2\backspace+1cm\relax{\raggedright
    \ruledvbox to 41\lineheight{\hsize=1.6\textwidth {\bfd 1}
\dorecurse{3}{ \input knuth }}
    \hskip0.5em
    \ruledvbox to 41\lineheight{\hsize=1.6\textwidth {\bfd 2}
\dorecurse{3}{ \input knuth }}
    \hskip\backspace
    \ruledvbox to 41\lineheight{\hsize=1.6\textwidth {\bfd 3}
\dorecurse{3}{ \input knuth }}
    \hskip0.5em
    \ruledvbox to 41\lineheight{\hsize=1.6\textwidth {\bfd 4}
\dorecurse{3}{ \input knuth }}
    }
    }]
