We do not suspect that many marriage choices were available to Adam (descendants from two individuals) and Noah (descendants from eight individuals).
With regard to their immediate children, we simply have no information to indicate whether or not they were commanded to practice plural marriage.
In any case, LDS doctrine in no way anticipates that plural marriage will be universal, or even common. It is, in fact, forbidden save when God specifically commands it.
