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

I just checked, and the strata in this survey are combinations of region and residence. In Stata, you can construct the strata with "egen stratum_ID=group(v024 v025)". This is usually how the strata are defined, as you will usually see from v022 or v023, but for some surveys before DHS-6 the strata variables were given incorrectly. It's good that you were suspicious because the number of alleged strata was too large. The appendix on sampling in the final reports usually includes a description of the strata.
