Can I upgrade from Oracle 7 to Oracle 9i without going to Oracle 8?

According to the Oracle 9.2 migration manual, if you are currently at release 7.3.4 there is a direct migration path supported to Oracle 9.2. If you are using a release older than 7.3.4, direct migration is not supported. This means you would first have to upgrade to 7.3.4 and then proceed with the upgrade to version 9.2.
