Following is a response from DHS staff member Tom Pullum:

On GitHub (https://github.com/DHSProgram) we have programs to calculate the TFR, wanted TFR, and all the other fertility rates. Tfr2 works fine but it is not one of our programs. "Length" is the reference interval of time before the interview for the births and exposure. For fertility rates the interval is usually 3 years, less often 5 years.
