You find a lot of samples in enattab.pdf
Willi Egger wrote a My Way how he set a typesetter's lead type case: Use of natural tables
\setupTABLE[row][odd][background=color,backgroundcolor=red, width=.3\textwidth] \bTABLE[split=yes] \bTR \bTD[nr=3] 1 \eTD \bTD[nc=2] 2/3 \eTD \bTD[nr=3] 4 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD[nc=3] 1/2/3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR \bTR \bTD 1 \eTD \bTD 2 \eTD \bTD 3 \eTD \bTD 4 \eTD \eTR \eTABLE
