What is the philosophical difference between Figure 1.5a ... Figure
1.5b and Figure 1.5 ... Figure 1.6?

Maybe (untested):
\startplacefigure [incrementnumber=no,number=no]
    \startcombination [1]
        {\externalfigure [firstoftwo]} {a}
    \stopcombination
\stopplacefigure
\startplacefigure [title=My combined figure title]
    \startcombination [1]
        {\externalfigure [secondoftwo]} {b}
    \stopcombination
\stopplacefigure
