I looked now in the files where the layout for the standard classes in latex
is defined and it's a mess to reproduce them in context because all values
depend on the papersize and fontsize and it takes a lot of code (even with
etex’s \dimexpr) because there are checks whether a calculated dimensions
exceeds a fixed limit.
This is how the layout for a document with a fontsize of 10pt looks:
\definelayout
[latex10]
[width=\ifdim\dimexpr\paperwidth-2in\relax>345pt\relax
345pt\else\dimexpr\paperwidth-2in\relax\fi, % \paperwidth-2in or 345pt, use the
smaller value
backspace=\dimexpr(\paperwidth-\textwidth)/2-1in\relax,
leftmargindistance=7pt,
leftmargin=,
topspace=,
header=12pt,
headerdistance=.25in,
height=,
footer=,
footerdistance=,]
