This time, the Data is already in the omnitrix but it still uses the same process to change Ben's DNA structure. So if skurd eats DNA then he should have sticked to Beninstead of the omnitrix.

Skurd might only be after the Data of the dna so he can create the DNA using is body and eats eat, well in a microcellular level which makes it hard for us to see. Uhh, Primus....

Let's not talk about the data for a moment. Given, microcellular level is probably the basis on consumption, but as I said above I believe that when Ben accesses the DNA, data or not, and becomes the intended specimen of that alien species, Skurd feeds off of that selected DNA which is why he spreads across the alien's body instead of just staying on the watch, and maybe that's how he is able to access the powers of other aliens, after having consumed DNA from them.

I'd also reason maybe he is actually feeding off the digital data as he did fix the glitch leaving Rath naked through whatever machinations he used, just by being attached to the Omnitrix, which means he have some kind of power or ability to manipulate digital aspect of the watch.

It all depends on how he feeds though.
