Following is a response fron Senior DHS Specialist, Shea Rutstein:

The quintiles are based on one-fifth of the dejure household population, estimated by using the household weight times the number of usual household members. It is different from the number of individuals interviewed since it includes children under age fifteen and persons older than 49 as well as interviewed women and men. Tabulate households by quintile by region, weighted by hhmemwt, which is hv005*HV012. That should give you what you want.
