This is obsolete, as long as the file name and the label are the same
and you don't want to change the picture at definition time
(scaling,...). I did the same some time ago.

I have only used start|stopcombinations with equal sized pictures so
far. Don't know if you can get the desired layout with only one combination.
Anyhow you can combine pic02 and pic03
{\vbox{\externalfigure[pic02.jpg][scale=1000]
\blank[whatever is needed]
\externalfigure[pic03.jpg][scale=1000]}} {Caption}
and use two [2*1] combinations.
Just a fast example with \framed instead of \externalfigure
% - - - - - - - -
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\starttext
\def\Double{\vbox{\framed[width=0.3\textwidth,height=.14\textheight]{}
\blank[.02\textheight]
\framed[width=0.3\textwidth,height=.14\textheight]{}}}
\startcombination[2*1]
{\framed[width=0.6\textwidth,height=.3\textheight]{}}{1}
{{\Double}}{2 and 3}
\stopcombination
\blank
\startcombination[2*1]
{\framed[width=0.45\textwidth,height=.2\textheight]{}}{4}
{\framed[width=0.45\textwidth,height=.2\textheight]{}}{5}
\stopcombination
\stoptext
I hope this works for you. Happy fiddling with the picture dimensions
and the space inbetween.

yes, if you mean the whole combination (else no).
