    Only a REC is permitted to work on a distribution board.

    Assuming that the cables are properly sized and they have sufficient mechanical protection most likely they are OK. Remember NYMJ is not UV resistant so they should not be exposed to sunlight anywhere along the run. I would generally prefer to bring one larger cable and install a small sub-distribution board. I also prefer to use SWA for this sort of application.
