I’m trying to get those tables side by side, but the size of the wrapping box 
is somehow miscalculated – if I set the width, the left table disappeares to 
the left, if I don’t, the box exceeds the paper width.
Maybe it’s completely unrelated to the tables.
In the full document, there’s also space before or after one of the tables, so 
that they don’t align.
There are actually not just two tables, but a short wide one and a combination 
of 3*2 small ones on the left side (that’s why I seem to need that \vbox) and a 
big table on the right side. But I’ll care about the other problems if I 
understand what’s going on with those boxes.

Can you see where your left table is?

Yes, thank you – but why?

When you put horizontal material in a \vbox the width of the box uses the value of \hsize before you opened it. You can make now a local change of \hsize in the box or just use another \framed for the table (or put the two smaller tables in a larger one).

\starttext

\startframed[offset=overlay,width=max]
    \startframed[frame=off,strut=no,offset=0pt,width=fit]
        \bTABLE[width=2cm]
            \dorecurse{10}{\bTR\bTD x \eTD\bTD y \eTD\eTR}
        \eTABLE
    \stopframed
    \hskip1cm
    \startframed[frame=off,strut=no,offset=0pt,width=fit]
        \bTABLE[width=2cm]
            \dorecurse{10}{\bTR\bTD x \eTD\bTD y \eTD\bTD z \eTD\eTR}
        \eTABLE
    \stopframed
\stopframed

\stoptext
