Write the text for the A4 page in a seperate document and
include it as a figure.
\setupexternalfigures[location={local,global,default}]
\setuppapersize[A5][A4, landscape]
\setuparranging[2UP]
\startpostponing[4]
\offset
[leftoffset=-\backspace,
topoffset=-\dimexpr\topspace+\headerheight\relax]
{\clip
[width=\paperwidth]
{\externalfigure[cow][width=2\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]}}
\stoppostponing
\startpostponing[5]
\noheaderandfooterlines
\offset
[leftoffset=-\backspace,
topoffset=-\dimexpr\topspace+\headerheight\relax]
{\clip
[hoffset=\paperwidth,width=\paperwidth]
{\externalfigure[cow][width=2\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]}}
\stoppostponing
\starttext
\dorecurse{50}{\input hawking}
\stoptext
