Answer to my own question:
Question:
Imagine a table (\bTABLE) spanning several pages. Moreover the table
is inside multicolumn (\startcolumn). How to make some column longer
(having more rows in some column)? (Column height is given by page height.)
Solution:
1. Make page heigher (as high as the highest column) on every page where
the table is:
\setuplayout[lines=..]
2. Insert blank rows to appropriate table places to fill the columns:
\dorecurse{..}{\bTR\bTD\strut\eTD\eTR}
Remarks:
1. \adaptlayout{page}{height=+...} has limited capability of making page
heigher (not overcomes footer) so \setuplayout is more flexible.
2. Forsing column break by
\bTR[after=\column]\bTD...\eTD\eTR
works but add some spurious space on the top of next column. I was
not able to remove it even experimenting with my own
\installcolumnbreakhandler {MUL} {forse} {...}
and using
\bTR[after={\columnbreak[forse]}]\bTD...\eTD\eTR
Spurious space demonstration:
--
\startbuffer[table]
\bTABLE[split=yes]
\dorecurse{20}{\bTR\bTD cell #1\eTD\eTR}
\bTR[after={\columnbreak[yes]}]\bTD between \eTD\eTR
\dorecurse{100}{\bTR\bTD cell #1\eTD\eTR}
\eTABLE
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\startcolumns
\getbuffer[table]
\stopcolumns
\stoptext

It may be done by \adaptlayout[2][height=+1cm] but it does not solve the problem. Natural tables (IFAIK) are splitted at one moment as a whole to one fix (page) height. If I enlarge the page (where \bTABLE) then every column will be longer. We need some option (or command inside table) that say: hey, naturaltable-split-mechanism, start to split to different value. There is some \extratblsplitheight in core-ntb, but I did not cook too deep to understand it.
