No, but a peripheral nerve does.
The reason why a peripheral nerve such as the sciatic nerve can contain nerve fiber from several spinal nerves is owing to nerve plexuses. These are networks of nerves all tangled together and found mostly in the limbs.
the spinal nerve sends nerve impulses away from the CNS
The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that runs from the spinal cord to the shoulder, arm, and hand. It is responsible for transmitting signals between the spinal cord and the upper limbs, including the fingers.
The spinal cord is a structure that starts at the brain and extends down the back within the spinal column. It serves as a pathway for nerve signals traveling between the brain and the rest of the body, controlling movement, sensation, and other functions.

Damage to the spinal nerve roots can lead to pain, numbness, weakness, and paresthesia (abnormal sensations in the absence of stimuli) in the limbs or trunk.
Yes, they have a dorsal (at the back) nerve chord as they are vertebrates ( they have an internal skeleton).

The spinal cord and the abdomen, limbs, and chest. Spinal nerves carry impulses between the spinal cord and the abdomen, limbs, and chest. Cranial nerves carry impulses between the brain and the neck and head.
Afferent nerves carry impulses to the CNS (central nervous system: brain/spinal chord).

The lumbar enlargement is a region of the spinal cord that exhibits a widening in the lower back area. It serves as the main site for the spinal nerves that innervate the lower limbs. This enlargement is responsible for the increased nerve activity associated with controlling and coordinating movements of the legs and pelvis.
Nerve cells have to be long enough to extend from where they are located in the body, the hands and feet for example, to the spinal chord or brain. Some nerve cells in a giraffe may be ten feet long. Others may be very short.
