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

Congratulations on harmonizing the administrative areas. That's a lot of work.

You should not have to change the weights at all. They reflect the sampling fractions for the strata as they were defined at the time of each survey. That is, they are correct for each cluster as it was classified at the time. The change in boundaries would not alter those sampling fractions.
