The XY arranging macro basically ignores dx/dy parameters by always
padding out the space between "pages".
Here's the existing ConTeXt macro for reference - removing \vss and
\hss makes it do the right thing (imo). I'd give a simple patch, but
I think the ideal behaviour might be to pad if (and only if) dx/dy
were not specified, which is starting to push my TeX skills.
\def\pusharrangedpageXY#1%
{\doglobal\increment\arrangedpageN
\reportarrangedpage\arrangedpageN
\doglobal\increment\arrangedpageM
\global\setbox\arrangedpageB\hbox
\ifdim\@@ppwidth>\zeropoint to \@@ppwidth \fi
{\ifvoid\arrangedpageB\else
\unhbox\arrangedpageB\hss\hskip\@@ppdx\hss
\fi
\box#1}%
\ifnum\arrangedpageM<\arrangedpageX\else
\global\setbox\arrangedpageA\vbox
\ifdim\@@ppheight>\zeropoint to \@@ppheight \fi
{\offinterlineskip
\ifvoid\arrangedpageA\else
\unvbox\arrangedpageA\vss\vskip\@@ppdy\vss
\fi
\box\arrangedpageB}%
\doglobal\newcounter\arrangedpageM
\fi
\ifnum\arrangedpageN<\arrangedpageT\else
\poparrangedpages
\fi}
Minimal test, note the dx/dy distances:
\definepapersize[label][width=30mm,height=20mm]
\setuppapersize[label][A4]
\setuppaper[dx=1mm,dy=1mm,nx=2,ny=6]
\setuparranging[XY]
\showframe[edge]
\starttext \dorecurse{6}{test \recurselevel \page} \stoptext
