Thanks all for useful tips. I ended up doing something similar as a short
term fix for my float number override issue, basically setting up a new
float type to use for the deviant ones and then resetting the numbering of
the existing ones. It would be great if there was a facility to just drop
in an override on an individual float using the equivalent of
ownnumber={27.1b}, but I appreciate this may be much more complex under the
hood than it seems to a mere mortal. Certainly my brief perusal of the
sources left me baffled, as usual!
Thanks again.

For this subfigure stuff, perhaps this is useful?
% setup definitions \definecounter[subfigure][way=bytext,prefix=no] \setupcounter[subfigure][state=start,numberconversion=a] \setcounter[subfigure][1]
\def\setsubfigures {\setcounter[subfigure][1] \incrementcounter[figure]
\setupcaption[figure][state=stop,numberstopper={\convertedcounter[subfigure]}]}
\def\unsetsubfigures {\setupcaption[figure][state=start,numberstopper=]}
%usage \setsubfigures
\startplacefigure[title=Test figure] \externalfigure[dummy] \stopplacefigure
\incrementnumber[subfigure]
\startplacefigure[title=Test another figure] \externalfigure[dummy] \stopplacefigure
\unsetsubfigures
I could not find a safe way to increment the subfigure number automatically, unfortunately.
Best wishes, Taco
