There are a few tricks when you need more then nine parameters
but it’s better to use a different method to pass argument from
one command to another. Better and more readable solutions are
intermediate commands for each value or assignment lists (a=x,b=y,…).

Can be simplified with \processcommalist:
\starttext
\def\domoreparameters#1%
{\advance\scratchcounter\plusone
\setvalue{param\number\scratchcounter}{#1}}
\def\moreparameters[#1]%
{\scratchcounter\zerocount
\processcommalist[#1]\domoreparameters}
\moreparameters[a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,m,n,o]
\getvalue{param1},
\getvalue{param2},
\getvalue{param3}
\stoptext
