Weirder still.

\definepapersize[large][a3,landscape]
\definepapersize[small][a4,portrait]
\setuppapersize[large]
\starttext
\externalfigure[foo.pdf]
\page\setuppapersize[small]
\externalfigure[bar.pdf]
\stoptext

The first page is now 11.69x11.69 inch and the second page is a4, but landscape

So, let's make sure I use both layout size and print size in my definitions

\definepapersize[large][a3,landscape][a3,landscape]
\definepapersize[small][a4,portrait][a4,portrait]
\setuppapersize[large]
\starttext
\externalfigure[foo.pdf][factor=fit]
\page\setuppapersize[small]
\externalfigure[bar.pdf][factor=fit]
\stoptext

Now both pages are a4 landscape. Another go:

\setuppapersize[a3,landscape][a3,landscape]
\starttext
\externalfigure[BoudewijndeHaasOpgave2Totaalview.pdf][factor=fit]
\page\setuppapersize[a4,portrait][a4,portrait]
\externalfigure[FredRademakerOpgave2Totaalview.pdf][factor=fit]
\stoptext

Both a4 landscape again.

Does this stuff work at all? Another go

\setuppapersize[A3,landscape][A3,landscape]
\starttext
\externalfigure[foo.pdf][factor=fit]
\page\setuppapersize[A4,portrait][A4,portrait]
\externalfigure[bar.pdf][factor=fit]
\stoptext

Hmm, this works. I originally used lower case a4 and a3, as I saw that in an example somewhere. But somewhere else I saw A3, A4 etc.

It still is weird. It sometimes work (but not completely) and sometimes not. For instance

\definepapersize[a3landscape][A3,landscape]
\definepapersize[a4portrait][A4,portrait]
\setuppapersize[a3landscape]
\starttext
\externalfigure[foo.pdf]
\stoptext

foo.pdf is a 18.43x13.88 inch PDF image
The end result is a 16.54x16.54 inch PDF image with the embedded image cropped.

Answering my own question, quite simple with ConTeXt:

\definepapersize[a3landscape][A3,landscape]
\definepapersize[a4portrait][A4,portrait]
\setuppapersize[a4portrait]
\starttext
\externalfigure[foo.pdf]
\page\setuppapersize[a3landscape]
\externalfigure[bar.pdf]
\stoptext

PS. The solution below does not work because it keeps the sizes of the images and does not set page sizes for the pages where the images are embedded.

Ah ok, you don't want to inherit the pagesize from the external pdf.
