Following is a response from Senior DHS Specialists: Tom Pullum & Trevor Croft.

construct the strata variable in Stata with either of two options:

Option 1:
gen strata = v024 * 2 + v025 - 1
replace strata = 1 if smetrop == 1

or Option 2:
egen strata = group(v024 smetrop)

They result in the same variable. Option 2 is close to "group(v024 v025)", but not quite the same, because v024, code 1, groups together two separate areas Aire metropolitan and the rest of the Ouest region.
