Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

Strictly speaking, neonatal deaths are in the first 28 days (completed days) after birth. Early neonatal deaths have b6 in the range 100 to 106 (the first 7 days) and late neonatal deaths have b6 in the range 107 to 127. I just looked at PKBR71FL.dta and see there are 9 deaths at b6=128 and 128 is the highest code in days. I would include those 9 deaths as late neonatal deaths but you may choose not to. I am sure there is some reporting error, especially when you get down to days of age at death.

We cannot give any advice on your statistical methods.
