Does the national electric code say whether electrical wires can be
multi-strands?

my old home had some installed before I bought it. It didnt flag during
home inspection sale which I kinda wondered about. It looked physicall
different and was marked as such.

What hazards does it cause?

Why can't you have strands in walls? What if you have to take some #8
through a wall?

That'd make for a pretty nasty looking install for your 50A range.
