If they are no longer married to the first wife then we do not have the information. We only have information about couples for those currently married or in union, so for those who were married before and are now married to their second wife, we will only have data for the second wife.

For polygynous unions, v506 does give the wife rank number, and this should be the order in which the man married each wife, so selecting rank 1 will give you the first wife of the current wives.
