Glad to read it worked for you, Jethro.

I think this might be what you intend:
\setuplayout[page]
\starttext
\doloopoverlist{ass1,ass2,ass3,ass4,ass5,ass6,ass7,ass8}
{\def\Doc{\recursestring.pdf}
\getfiguredimensions[\Doc]
\dorecurse{\noffigurepages}
{\externalfigure[\Doc]
[page=\recurselevel, width=20cm, scale=950]}}
\stoptext

The approach is totally different: "getnofpages"
(http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/luametatex.pdf#search=getnofpages).
BTW, your code crashed my session, CPU goes to 100% and RAM usage too. I
wonder how your sample could be compiled fine by your system.
I hope it helps,
Pablo
