Yeah, plus Elves usually only had a few children if any. That fact along with the elves who stayed in Mandos would probably keep the population rising at a healthy aerithmatic rateopposed to a dangerous geometric one.otherwise we would have begun to see a group of suburban isles being erected by the Valar around Tol Eressea to cope with the alarming population density spewing out of Valinor.
It wouldn't be so much 'the Lonely Isle' anymore.
