Hi Milan,
I forgot to mention that the sample should be working (with just copy
and paste).
This makes it easier to start testing and avoids different results due
to different ways of getting the complete sample (I already experienced
that).

This is the closest I can get to grid typesetting (but it isn’t real
grid typesetting): `offset=overlay` in your xtable setup.
With minimal additions to your sample, this is what you seem to get
(although someone more experienced could get full grid typesetting):
\showframe\showgrid
\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\setupcolumns[n=2]
\starttext
\startbuffer[cols]
\startcolumns %just before
\subject{A list}
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth\par}
\stopcolumns
\stopbuffer
\getbuffer[cols]
\blank[2st]
\startbuffer[xtab]
\startxtable[
split=yes,
option={stretch,width},
textwidth=1tw,
% 1. Handle external page grid (spacing before/after)
%~ before={\blank[line]\begstrut},
%~ after={\endstrut\blank[line]},
offset=none,
frame=on,
%after={\blank[line]},
% 2. STOP internal grid snapping (The fix for "too apart")
%grid=no,
]
\startxtablehead
\startxrow
\startxcell[style=bold] Column 1 \stopxcell
\startxcell[style=bold] Column 2 \stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopxtablehead
\startxtablebody
\dorecurse{20}{
\startxrow
\startxcell Full width data #1 \stopxcell
\startxcell More full width data \stopxcell
\stopxrow
}
\stopxtablebody
\stopxtable
\stopbuffer
\getbuffer[xtab]
\getbuffer[cols]
\blank[2st]
\getbuffer[xtab]
\stoptext
I hope it might help,
Pablo
