I'm not sure how this will react to different page sizes (for the ring binder space etc) 
so you may need to use a completely different approach whereby you print a 
"normal" document to PDF in regular page order, and then process that PDF using 
a separate Context file and /insertpages to achieve the layout you want.

The imposition mechanism isn't the best solution in this case to achieve something like the result from the example with a wide left margin.

A two step mechanism with with one document for the content and a second for the page placement is the simples solution. With the help of a buffer and \typesetbuffer it should be possible to combine both in a single document.

%% begin example
\setuppapersize[A4,landscape]

\setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided]

\setuplayout[backspace=6cm]

\starttext

\showboxes

\startcolumns
Second page\column
Third page\column
First page\column
Fourth page\column
\stopcolumns

\stoptext
%% end example
