Yes, tabulate is a solution, though as I have just described for Denis
who also responded to this issue, by some careful manipulation (which
was possible for the circumstance I was dealing with) I simply noted
where the page break occurred and started a new set of paragraphs after
that. That was satisfactory in this case. Tabulate might have to be the
solution for a different set of circumstances.

I would try \setuptabulate, \starttabulate ... \stoptabulate.
It has some limitations (though Hans added some features recently),
but it should work.

I have the following setup for side-by-side paras.
\defineparagraphs[Two][n=2]
\setupparagraphs[Two][1][width=.1\textwidth,style=\bfx,align=tolerant]
\setupparagraphs[Two][2][width=.9\textwidth,style=normal,align=tolerant]
My difficulty is that while there is only ever just a couple of
numbers in the left-hand 'column', the right-hand 'column' may have
several lengthy paragraphs. If I have one relatively short \startTwo
followed by one that is much longer, it will be forced to start on
the next page, leaving too much empty space on the previous page.
It is probable that getting this environment to split across pages is
not possible. I can try very different approaches (columns, tables)
to solve my problem, but I thought I would at least ask first.
