When you want a fixed width for \CombinationBox you have to change the
definition to
\defineframed[CombinationBox][frame=off,offset=none,width=11cm]

Thanks a lot, it is much simpler! I also like that \start \stop structure
which makes the code more clear.
Just for future reference: CombinationBox extends the current image width
with the fixed value. When different image widths are used in your document,
the caption width varies as well. To keep the consistency within the
document I've chosen that simplealignedbox instead.

You have to force a certain width for your images because the width
of the text space depends on the width of the images. You can use
\framed (instead of loffset/roffset you can also set a fixed width) or
\simplealignedbox to set the width of the images.
\setupexternalfigures[location=default]
\defineframed[CombinationBox][frame=off,offset=none,loffset=3cm,roffset=3cm]
\starttext
\startplacefigure[location={force,none}]
\startcombination[nx=1,ny=2,align={last,hz,hanging},style=\itx]
% first image
\startcontent
%\simplealignedbox{11cm}{middle}{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]}
\CombinationBox{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]}
\stopcontent
\startcaption
\input{ward}
\stopcaption
% second image
\startcontent
%\simplealignedbox{11cm}{middle}{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]}
\CombinationBox{\externalfigure[cow][width=5cm]}
\stopcontent
\startcaption
\input{ward}
\stopcaption
\stopcombination
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext

Finally fixed with align=last :-)
This is the improved example. The only remaining issue is an one empty line
between the image and the label when \startnarrower command is used.
Please compare two pages w/o this option set:
%\definefontfamily[palatino][rm][Palatino Linotype][features={default,
quality}]
%\setupbodyfont[palatino]
\setupnarrower[middle=-2.8cm]
\starttext
test
\startplacefigure[location=page, number=no, title={}]
\setupcombinations[align={last, hz, hanging}]
{\startcombination[1*2]
{\externalfigure[cow]} {\startnarrower {\itx \input{tufte}}
\stopnarrower}
{\externalfigure[cow]} {\startnarrower {\itx \input{lorem}}
\stopnarrower}
\stopcombination}
\stopplacefigure
\startplacefigure[location=page, number=no, title={}]
\setupcombinations[align={last, hz, hanging}]
{\startcombination[1*2]
{\externalfigure[cow]} {\itx \input{ward}}
{\externalfigure[cow]} {\itx \input{ward}}
\stopcombination}
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext
I haven't find any better way to extend the caption width than that negative
value for narrowed text. It works, but that empty space above looks weird
:-(
Thanks for any suggestions,
Jan

I've found it is a general problem with the centering the last line when
hanging alignment is set. Here is the similar thread, but with no response:
https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg32884.html
This is quite old thread. Are there any new possibilities in the Context
from that era?
Thanks, Jan
