What can I expect when I set the BITMODE register?

[Martijn]

I know nrf51 timer0 can be configured for 16,8,24 and 32 bit modes and timer1 and timer2 can be configured for 16 and 8 bit modes.

But what can I expect the value to be when I select bitmode 32bits for timer2?

what I think is happening is that timer1 and 2 only check bit 0 of the BITMODE register and ignore bit 1?? When I set 32 bit mode (value 0x3) it will result in a 1 for bit 0. But a 1 for bit 0 equals to 8 bit mode.

Is this correct?

I guess so, but why don't you use the bit definitions in nrf51_bitfields.h to set one of the supported bitmodes?
