I get it, thanks.

yes, but this is my goal (!)
See https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2016/084858.html - case (2)
I am afraid I hasn't been clear enough yet.

So the following \parfillskip specification finally seems to be what I was
looking for as it covers both cases in my original question:
\setupindenting[yes,2em]
\newdimen\lastlineminlength
\newdimen\lastlinemingap
\lastlineminlength=3em
\lastlinemingap=1em
\parfillskip \lastlinemingap plus
\dimexpr\availablehsize-\lastlineminlength-\lastlinemingap\relax
\edef\ward{\cldloadfile{ward}}
\starttext
\dorecurse{100}{
\hsize\dimexpr\textwidth-#1mm\relax
\ward \par
\ward \par
\startnarrower[left]
\ward \par
\ward \par
\stopnarrower
\page
}
\stoptext
As it can be done in one place globally and in almost single line, no special
new command is necessary (as requested originally).
