Following is a response from our Senior Sampling Specialist, Ruilin Ren:

The Rwanda DHS 2005 used 12 provinces, and HV024 has 12 values. There were no districts specified in the 2005 Rwanda DHS. The 2007-2008 Rwanda Interim DHS used the county's new structure with 5 provinces (Rwanda changed the country structure after the 2005 DHS), no districts were specified. The 2010 DHS used the country's new structure with 5 provinces and 30 districts, the variable SHDIST identifies the 30 districts.

One can match the new provinces and districts with the old 12 provinces, but not in the other direction. You cannot split the 2005 DHS data or the 2007-2008 data into 30 districts because there is no identifier in the data file.
