In Stata, you could do something like the following:

use ZZIR62FL.DTA
rename b*_0* b*_*

gen age_2nd_birth = .
forvalues i = 1/20 {
  replace age_2nd_birth = int((b3_`i' - v011)/12) if bord_`i' == 2
}
tab age_2nd_birth

This code loops through all 20 entries in the birth history and finds the second birth (where bord = 2) and calculates the age at the second birth using the century month code of that birth.
