One further improvement would be to collect the R snippets and run them all at once. That would significantly reduce processing time since the R startup is on the order of a few seconds. However, that is beyond my knowledge of ConTeXt.
More philosophical question than a question of implementation.
If you want to generate some images with R than you can do that in one run anyway (you need to include those images with several \externalfigure commands anyway). If you want several ls() statements that print out something: how are you going to know which output belongs to which script?
Yes it is interesting doing it this way, the latex people do it the other way around: they run a mixed R/LaTeX file through an R function that puts evaluated R code instead, run this file through LaTex and voila. But if there is no requirement for elegance I am sure there are ways to do it this way as well, some trickery with comments perhaps or searching for the next input. Rather a lot of work to get either of them going though ... Johan
