If you want your TABLE to find natural column widths to fit the content,
use [option=stretch] on the \bTABLE command. (NB it doesn't work as an
option to \setupTABLE, only on the actual \bTABLE.)
Then, assuming you don't need splitting over pages, you can set your
TABLE inside a vbox to define its width. (If you do need splitting, try
putting the TABLE into a textbackground - with no background color set
unless you want it - and set the width and/or margins of that?)
Hope that helps.
