Hi Alan,
Sorry, I should have actually tried your MWE. You do *not* want
way=bypage here, as that resets the counter to one at the start
of the next page (it is useful for footnotes that are numbered
per-page, but not for actual page counters).
\definecounter[volpage][type=page]
\starttext
\setcounter[volpage][5]
\dorecurse{3}{\startTEXpage[offset=2pc]
\input ward
\blank[medium]
\centerline{\red\tfa\rawcounter[volpage]\incrementcounter[volpage]}
\stopTEXpage}
\stoptext
