For someone prepared to disappear along with his father, Lelouch was actually spared. You could even say he was aimless. What's more, Suzaku reminded him that he was Euphemia's murderer. And, yes, he still had to deal with Schneizel as Charles himself stated. If the staff had wanted, they could have developed that into a different ending and made this irrelevant...but they didn't.

As you said, the staff could've handled it differently and they really should have since it was very sloppy. The last four episodes were just resolution and it really shouldn't have been that long.
Also, fiction can be unrealistic, but it still has to make sense. ZR, to be perfectly honest, didn't make a whole lot of sense.
