This is the final macro that I have, incase someone else is
interested.
\def\SEQ#1%
{\dodoubleempty\doSEQ[#1]}
\def\doSEQ[#1][#2]%
{\ifsecondargument
\donefalse
\mathematics{\processcommalist[#2]{\dodoSEQ{#1}}}
\else \mathematics{\bold{#1}}\fi}
\def\dodoSEQ#1#2%
{\ifdone ,\else \donetrue\fi
\doifelse{#2}{...}{\dots}{#1_{#2}}}
\starttext
\SEQ X[1,2] is part of \SEQ X[1,2,3,4] and \SEQ X[1,...,10]
\SEQ X[1,2,...,n-1,n,n+1,...,N]
