SOOW isn't rated for this application. While it would probably work, it won't be up to code.
If you want to use 1 piece of wire with no GFCI I'd use 8/2G UF cable. It is rated for indoor or outdoor use and it can be run inside conduit for protection. NM-B, even inside conduit, isn't rated for outdoor use.
With a 14-50 receptacle there will be 4 terminals. The L1 and L2 are obvious. I'd connect the bare ground wire to the ground terminal and leave the neutral terminal open. I'm not 100% sure that is the best way to do it though, so you might want to read up on that.
Actually, now that I think about it.....I'd run 8/3G UF and connect L1, L2, N and Ground at the receptacle and breaker box.
