What could she possibly gain from holding a grudge against Ougi and Viletta at that point? What's done is done, and there's no point getting angry at what might have happened otherwise.

It's a peace that's lesser than what could have been in more ways than one.
And Ohgi and Villetta among others getting their just desserts could still be done without affecting the peace. Force Ohgi into resigning as Prime Minister, for starters.

Even so, it's possible C. C. knew, or had an idea. Besides, Kallen was hoping Villetta hadn't noticed her in R2 5, suggesting she might have had an idea herself.

That's one possible interpretation, from an external observer, but her actions indicate a different thought process with another focus.
First, Kallen tried to defend Lelouch and die with him if necessary. Second, she was fooled by his lies and was willing to abandon him once he pushed her away. Third, she was confused by Lelouch's last words and tried to defend him again. Fourth, Kallen expressed her doubts about what Ohgi and the other Black Knights had done, but she still felt conflicted and wished to talk to Lelouch again. Fifth, they talk and there's a kiss but nothing happens. And finally, Lelouch pulls off the Evil Emperor act and she realizes it is necessary to stop him.
If Lelouch had been willing to be more forthcoming with her, perhaps Kallen would have calmed down or assumed the attitude you're suggesting. But we can tell her mind was too full of anxiety and uncertainty about Lelouch during a lot of the post-betrayal events, which tends to preclude making a big deal about what you're mentioning, since that requires firmly knowing he is actually right.
On the contrary, I find it entirely plausible for her character as portrayed in the series. Kallen is a very emotional girl and while she did love Lelouch, it was a relationship marked by a lot of tension and conflicting thoughts. I've already addressed the Villetta angle above.

What about the ending, if nothing else, when she DID figure it out?
