Of course he can, been saying for months now. First off all Nagato was nearly out of chakra and was using a puppet from miles|Kilometers away, deva realm actually had to go closer to Nagatos body to even use the technique so we can assume that the farther you are from Nagato the weaker the paths get with there chakra. Then we have the case were Nagato even said he would have to make it bigger in order to contain the 8 tails which he could of I mean come on after that we see him use various shinra tense (I think 2) and then bring back an entire village form the dead so of course he had chakra enough to contain the 8 tailed Kurama. And lastly you forget that Nagato is stronger then Deva I mean a stronger fresh healthy Nagato using Chibaku tensei and it's Poff bye bye kurama.
