less messing around with %'s:

\defineXMLenvironment
  [appendices]
  {\directsetup{appendices:start}}
  {\directsetup{appendices:stop}}

\startsetups appendices:start
    \startappendices
        \setuppagenumbering [
            way=bytext,
            partnumber=no,
            conversion=numbers,
            location={header,right}
        ]
        \startstandardmakeup [
            headerstate=empty,
            pagestate=start
        ]
        \framed [
            width=\textwidth,
            frame=off
        ] {
            \switchtobodyfont[60pt,ss]
            \setupinterlinespace[line=2.8ex]
            Appendices
            \writetolist[part]{Appendices}{}
        }
        \stopstandardmakeup
\stopsetups

\startsetups appendices:start
    \stopappendices
\stopsetups

(spaces and lineending are ignored, use \space when a space is needed)
