Hi Hraban,
I can currently solve a few of your problem but not all at the moment,
spliting tables seems to be only implemented for tables with normal
orientation and not for rotated ones.

Setting the column width but my solution below produce a big offset
(difference between textheight and textwidth) at the bottom.
I have to look also how one place the caption below the table and not
on the right side.

Text in frame will never be broken, it is more or less a clever \vbox
with a few positioning commands. Each TABLE cell is also a \framed box
and caanot be broken.

"width" is the width from one cell in a TABLE, it is a abbreviation for
\framed[width=...], you are looking for "textwidth=..."

You can start with my example below as a workaround til table
splitting a corrected in main files.
\showframe
\starttext
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\relax}
\start
\textheight\textwidth
\page
\placetable
[90,split]
[tab:religionen]
{Götter}
{\bTABLE[width=5cm]
\dorecurse{100}{\bTR\bTD Text\eTD\eTR}
\eTABLE}
\stop
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth\relax}
\stoptext
