have you tried the 'inbetween' or 'distance' parameter from
\setupcombinations?
Well what I would like would be for the following to work
\setupcombinations[before={\hfill},inbetween={\hfill},after={\hfill}]
but it doesn't do what I would like for it to do.
before and after go on the top and the bottom of the combination block,
inbetween goes between the figure/table and the caption.
One possibility to simplify measurement is to abuse figurecollections
(Please wikify).

@Hans: Can we also have totalheight and totalwidth as parameters of figure
combinations (is relatively easy to implement)?
