I was defending this without having even read the passage, and now having read the actual part from Quendi and Eldar, it seems like Tolkien took some time to work this out, 56 Avari(taking from both Noldor and Teleri), soudns a bit large, but I guess a larger amount would be needed since it would be easier for them to fall prey to Morgoth and his servents. That was really the only problem I saw with it at first, but even now it seems to work out.

Maybe this wasn't the best question for Canon Studies and Theories, since no body ever comes in here and it doesn't really affect anything in other books or other versions. Oh well.
