If you want to create a women's level variable for any child stunted then you could do it with the child's file and merge the result back in, but it is actually easier to do it with the women's file. You could simply create a variable as follows (sorry, the description below is not R code, but hopefully you get the idea):

any_child_stunted = (hw70_1 < 200 | hw70_2 < 200 | hw70_3 < 200 | hw70_4 < 200 | hw70_5 < 200 | hw70_6 < 200)
