Yep .. quite a lot of them, for substantial periods of time.
Contrary to expectations it didn't seem to affect the tubes or tyres, shorten lifespans, etc.
FWiW I grew up in fairly remote parts of the world and we repaired pretty much everything as much as possible with what we had - aircraft, helicopters, radios, etc.
My first thought, to be honest, was "Why not just grab a spare spark plug from the boot?"
I'm guessing not so many people stock spares when driving so much anymore.
You can also replace a blown out tyre with a hard wood skid if pressed, weld up broken steel with car batteries, stuff tyres with grasses, etc.
Inline six cylinder engines run with a single clogged / broken spark plug.
It'd make 200 m to a garage just fine*, but who'd drive 200 m in any case?
Back in the 1970's we'd pull a spark plug and screw in a hose to use the compression phase to inflate tyres.
* Just don't make a habit of it, or reserve that knowledge for when you really need to self rescue.
