That's probably not the best way to think of the context string.
The most useful way to approach this is to regard different
contexts as representing completely separate parallel copies
of the full OID tree.
   These don't necessarily contain exactly the same sets of
information (let alone what that data actually is).   So one
context might well be much more complete than another.
But they're essentially two separate trees of information.

So you might have one copy of the ifTable registered under
the default context, and a second (relatively sparse) copy
registered under a different context.
   And there might be some rows in the default table that are
not in the second table,  and vice versa.   (As well as rows
with the same index in both tables - which can have either
the same or different values).

Don't think of it in those terms.   You are registering the ifTable
in both contexts - giving you two copies of the same table.
You'd then insert particular rows into one or other copy of
this table (or both).

The effect is essentially the same, but it's a very different way
of looking at it.

Register the table twice - once in each context.

Note that the MIB modules in the Net-SNMP agent aren't
really designed with this in mind, so you're probably going to
have to do a fair bit of work to get this in place.
   But think of these as two separate tables, that just happen
to use the same OID.
