 I am trying to string 10 pdfs together onto one very wide page so I can print 
 it as a scroll.
 I've tried using texexec as follows:
 
 $texexec --combination=10*1 --pdfcombine infile.pdf
 
 but what I get is 10 pdfs at the top of an A4 sheet.
 How do I make a custom page size 1480mm x 210 mm?
 
 I've also tried using a tex file like the following:
 
 \definepapersize  [scroll][width=1480mm, height=210mm]
 \setuppapersize[A5][scroll]
 \setuppaper
 [topspace=0mm,
 backspace=0mm,
 dx=1mm,
 dy=0mm,
 nx=1,
 ny=10,

nx=10,
ny=1

 margin=0,
 width=148mm,
 height=210mm]
 \setuplayout
 [topspace=0mm,
 backspace=0mm,
 margin=0mm,
 width=1480mm,
 height=210mm,
 header=0mm,
 footer=0mm]

You can just write

\setuplayout[page]

 \setuparranging[XY]
 
 \starttext
 \insertpages
 [input.pdf]
 \stoptext
 
 I get the right sized pdf sheet, but all the input.pdf pages are stacked on 
 top of one another in a big mess all on the right hand side.

This is a alternative solution for your problem:

\starttext
\startTEXpage
\getfiguredimensions[insert.pdf]
\dontleavehmode\dorecurse\noffigurepages{\externalfigure[insert.pdf][page=\recurselevel]}
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] impostion

Hi Jan,

Hm, looking at your arrangement, I do not quite understand what purpose it 
serves. Context does contain a list of arrangements which can be useful for 
most users. However, it we will have to convince Hans, that your scheme is 
useful also to others. Could you explain what the idea is behind your 
imposition scheme?

Kind regards

Willi
