Following is a response from Senior DHS Staff Member, Tom Pullum:

You are apparently using the HR file, in which all the household information is on a single very wide record. You should use the PR file, in which cases are individual household members and the household-level information is on each record. The PR file is a reshaped version of the HR file. You do not need to do the reshaping--it has already been done.
