Heres how I would look at it. Luke probably shouldn't be finding or training anyone for about 5 years after Return of the Jedi. I think he's still stepping into the role of becoming a Jedi at that point. He should learn more about Jedi history, reflecting on the stuff that just happened to him and such.
That time should be spent improving his skills, exploring the galaxy, and eventually finding an apprentice. He should really take at least 10 years with that apprentice.
Then what? That apprentice takes an apprentice, and Luke takes another?
Even so, you're still 35 years (generously) past ROTJ before you have 4 real Jedi. Luke is about 60 at that point. Even if he lives and trains until he's 100, and those he has trained take apprentices, the Jedi Order would still be pretty small.
I don't feel like doing the math out, but it would fit in a single room. No way they'd be spread out all over the Galaxy and some unbeknownst to Luke directly.
Only if they were being rapidly trained via Luke's Complete Idiot's Guide To: Becoming a Jedi.

Whether Leia and her children (or Luke's children) become Jedi is inconsequential too, since they'd need to be trained, and would just fit into that lineage of apprentices somewhere.
