Well, I actually don't need floats, because each image has a fixed
position. However the problem is to get captions properly formatted and
numbered. Again, in LaTeX it would be easy to output captions
separately from the corresponding images, but I haven't found how to do
that in ConTeXt. That's what causes me to use floats (and pack them
into floatcombinations if necessary).

My code currently looks like the following:
\defineparagraphs[DoubleL][n=2]
\starttext
\centerline{\rotate[rotation=90]{
\startDoubleL
\placefigure[force]
{My first caption}
{\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=3in]}
\nextDoubleL
\placefigure[force]
{My second caption}
{\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=1in]}
\placefigure[force]
{My third caption}
{\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=1in]}
\stopDoubleL
}}
\stoptext
As I have explained, this works, but it would prefer to use a
floatcombination syntax to describe this type of layout just like I
would use it for two images placed side-by-side. I. e. it would be nice
if ConTeXt supported something like the following:
\startfloatcombination[2*1]
\placefigure[force]
{My first caption}
{\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=3in]}
\startfloatcombination[1*2]
\placefigure[force]
{My second caption}
{\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=1in]}
\placefigure[force]
{My third caption}
{\externalfigure[dummy][width=1in,height=1in]}
\stopfloatcombination
\stopfloatcombination
Another small problem is that combinations and floatcombinations,
unlike single floats, have no 'rotation' parameter, so that I have to
embed them into a rotation command. This seems just a bit inconsistent.
