Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

A stratum is something like "rural Tamil Nadu" and "urban Tamil Nadu". You could make a map of Tamil Nadu, with blue dots on the map for clusters in the rural stratum and red dots for clusters in the urban stratum. It's up to you to say whether the red dots or blue dots, collectively, are social units or geographical units.

In your analysis, I expect that the results would be weighted by the number of cases in each cluster. A cluster with 20 women will have 20 times the weight of a cluster with 1 woman. That's the approach in the analytical studies we have done and is probably better than dropping clusters with fewer than some arbitrary number of cases.
