Dear all,
I follow up my own post to answer my own question:

What I did first has been to define two new paper sizes. The first
one, pca4 is the format I have to send to the printer. The second one
is exactly half size of the first one:
\definepapersize[pca4][width=212mm,height=299mm]
\definepapersize[pca5][width=149.5mm, height=212mm]
Then, I put two pca5 on one pca5:
\setuppapersize[pca5][pca4]
\setuparranging[2UP,rotated]
The only thing I changed to my layout was the outside margin
(rightmargin), to which I added pca5.width minus a5.width (that is
1.5mm).
\definelayout
[default]
[leftmargin=0mm,rightmargin=25.5mm, % instead of 24mm
topspace=0mm,backspace=10mm,
width=115mm,height=middle]
\setuplayout[location=middle]
\setuplayout[default]
This is not a good solution because the 'security' milimeters are part
of the margin (ie, if you center something in the margin, it won't be
still centered after printing / cutting).
So, if anybody has a solution to even 'extend' the borders of a given
size or put graphics on the 'container' (here, pca4), I'm a buyer :)
Thanks to everybody,
-AJ
