Thank you so much Wolfgang! I should have realised that. It's what I
get for trying to write readable code.
You can use the = to align keys and values, e.g.
\setuplayout
   [backspace=2.5cm,
       margin=0.5cm,
        width=16cm,
       header=1cm,
       footer=1cm]
Another useful method is to put large settings into a setups-blocks and
pass the block to a setup-command.
\startsetups [apage]
\startMPcode
StartPage;
...
StopPage;
\stopMPcode
\stopsetups
\defineoverlay[apage][\directsetup{apage}]
