Oh, another thing I've learned from your example us that \starttext ...\stoptext can be nested...

It's a book that will be published in two volumes, continually paginated. In the end I need two pdf files, but I thought it might be easier to treat them as one volume and just split the files with some external tool afterwards.
I could also treat them as two individual books, but then I'd have to get the last page number of volume 1 in volume 2. On the console you see the pagenumbers right? What you need is the realpage. You could actually do something:
\dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{tufte}\page} \appendetoks \writestatus{!!!!!}{} \writestatus{!!!!!}{SPLIT HERE: \the\realpageno} \writestatus{!!!!!}{} \to \everystoptext \dorecurse{10}{\samplefile{tufte}\page} and then use this number in: context --extra=select --selection=1:4 oeps.pdf --once --autopdf context --extra=select --selection=5:9999 oeps.pdf --once --autopdf (We can actually relate tags to pages so maybe I will make something to pick that up from the tuc file.)
