Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

You have appended the files and constructed a variable that identifies each survey. I will assume that variable is called "survey" and it takes the values 1999, ..., 2014, for example. You then need to construct new PSUs and strata. I suggest something like this in Stata:

egen psuid=group(survey v021) and
egen stratumid=group(survey v022) .

After that you do svyset and svy.
