Is there a way to prevent this by assigning split= a number? If so, what numerical value will work? Or is there another setting?
Add this line to your environment file somewhere: \brokenpenalty \zerocount Your problem was not with the footnotes themselves but with the page builder: ConTeXt (like plain) normally refuses to end pages with a line that end with a hyphen, and the line with footnote 4 on it does end in one, so the next line is forced to be on that page as well (dropping two lines would make the page underfull, so that option is never considered).
