This has been discussed in previous threads, such as this one:

"While using the singleunit(centered) parameter is one way around the problem of a stratum with a single unit, in general we recommend to regroup the strata with a similar strata and not use the singleunit parameter. In this case I would regroup strata 5 (Rajshahi city corp.) which only has the one cluster (after the selection for this estimation) with strata 11 (Rajshahi other urban). The difference in the results between the two approaches however will be tiny."

Obviously the details about which units to group together would be different, but the idea is the same: you can use the "singleunit" option or you can re-define that strata by joining it to another one.
