Verbatim in arguments of other commands is tricky because in case with 
\dorecurse the loop reads the content before it is passed to type, as a 
result of this process all spaces are collapsed.

One way to work around this is to use a buffer for the content of the loop.

\startbuffer[type]
\type{a    b c}
\stopbuffer

\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\inlinebuffer[type]\par}
\stoptext
