Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

You did not say what survey you are using. There are a few surveys for which v024 x v025 will not correctly give the strata. In general, however, this will be correct.

It is not necessary to divide v005 by 1000000. Stata always normalizes pweights to have a mean of 1. The following would be equivalent:

egen strata=group(v024 v025)

svyset v021 [pweight=v005], strata(strata) singleunit(centered)
