Following is another response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:
Sorry for the delay with this response. Perhaps you have already answered the question yourself.
Your Stata code is well written and correct. I have made some modifications and will paste my revised version below. The 232 and 338 are not a problem. The units of analysis in the IR file are women, and the units of analysis for table 8.4 are stillbirths (in column 1) and early neonatal deaths (in column 2). Four women who had two neonatal deaths, and 228 had one. Thus 232 women experienced at least one neonatal death, but the total number of neonatal deaths was 236. You can convert from a file of women to a file of neonatal deaths with the "expand" command, as shown. Similarly for early neonatal deaths.
As you will see, I generally save a working file in a "scratch" folder--you would do something else--in order to move easily from column 1 to column 2 of table 8.4.
Regarding your second question--women with parity 0 have had no live births. That's why they have no early neonatal deaths, even if they may have had stillbirths.
Open MWIR7HFL.dta

replace stillbirths = stillbirths+1 if inrange(`i',beg,end) & substr(vcal_1,`i',7) == "TPPPPPP"
}
replace end = v008
replace beg = v008-59

replace child_deaths = child_deaths+ 1 if inrange(b3_`i',beg,end) & inrange(b6_`i',212,304)
}
