Mind if I answer that? He wasn't especially, three wouldn't be a huge number for elves anymore than it would be for humans in this day and age. The largest litter, if you will, was Feanor who had 7 children. And only one Elf is specifically noted as having two wives, that's Finwe first High King of the Nolder, who's wife died of grief after child birth. Elrond did not, but it is possible that others did, since the laws stood in place to allow it to happen (under certain circumstances).
