A spoke has 2 measurements: the gauge and the length. They can also be butted (thick at the ends, thinner in the middle), and stainless, cadmium or chrome (and black and colors these days). I'd just buy a few at a shop that matches what the wheels are build with now.

Unfortunately, in my experience, a spoke almost always breaks on the freewheel side, so its not really a roadside repair.
