Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

To weight each survey equally, you would run the same program but replace all the "target" numbers with a fixed number such as 1. It should not matter what number you use. If you have ten surveys, say, then the procedure will add up the target values, get 10, and then alter hv005 so that each survey gets a proportion 1/10 of the total of hv005 in all ten surveys.
