Can someone explain this? The solutions posted in lua seem more complicated than that using \dimexpr I will add further examples to http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Expressions (or someone else can do this directly, of course) once I understand the advantages and limitations.

Can I divide dimensions to get a number in pdftex?
LaTeX has a package to do exactly that, fp. You could look into its code. Or you could use LuaTeX :-)
It's easy to do with etex but I would use lua if possible
