So I guess my problem is resolved, but I'd still like to understand better
why my earlier solution of doing
\setupfloat[figure][width=2cm]
didn't set a default for later instances of \placefigure. I feel like I
might be missing some aspect of the ConTeXt philosophy, or I'm misreading
the manual, or it's just a bug...?
\setupfloat[figure] sets the values of \startplacefigure (and
\placefigure), and not for \externalfigure. The width value for
startplacefigure is not used anywhere.
The default value of \setupfloats[width=...] is used when the float box is
empty. So, the only scenario where the value of \setupfloats[width=...]
will matter is the following:
\starttext
\setupfloats[width=2cm]
\placefloat{}{}
\setupfloats[width=10cm]
\placefloat{}{}
\stoptext
