If the strata are survey specific, there is no need to alter the PSU variable, as all calculations are stratum specific. But it also doesn't hurt anything.

But don't subset the data - that may be incorrect unless you understand exactly how the calculations are made and can insure that you have enough of the correct observations to make those calculations.
