Hello,

I managed to resolve the issue - which turns out bcos I had 2 back2back
columnset definitions. So instead, I combined them into 1 and the result
was ok.

*Before (leads to blank page or page with symmetrical columns):*

\definecolumnset[2col][n=2, distance=3.5mm, page=no]
\setupcolumnset[2col:1][width=.65\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[2col:2][width=.35\makeupwidth]

\definecolumnset[3col][n=3, page=yes]
\setupcolumnset[3col:1][width=.25\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[3col:2][width=.30\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[3col:3][width=.45\makeupwidth]

\startcolumnset[2col]
...
\stopcolummnset

\startcolumnset[3col]
...
\stopcolummnset

*After (gets the desired result):*

\definecolumnset[summary][nleft=2, nright=3, distance=3.5mm, page=no]
\setupcolumnset[summary:1][width=.65\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[summary:2][width=.35\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[summary:3][width=.25\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[summary:4][width=.30\makeupwidth]
\setupcolumnset[summary:5][width=.45\makeupwidth]

\startcolumnset[summary]
...
\stopcolummnset

Best,
