She doesn't need an elaborate plan to take advantage of a situation. The best lies are those that contain an element of truth. Yes, it's true that LTT is living in Rand's head. Yes he is mad, and he is obviously getting worse. But a one time listen to Semi's statements leads one to the very real probability that Ra'T is most likely on the irreversible path to terminal madness. She didn't need to plan it, I'm sure that sowing discord and fear is very natural to her, she's had lots of practice.
Semi's statement is MOSTLY true. The main problem is that you are looking over a transcript of it, while the WoT characters only have the one listen. There is no way of knowing what Graendal said. There is no way of knowing if Rand's 'sanity slide' is inevitible or not. There is no way of knowing how quickly it will occur if it does occur. Semi intimates all of most negative of results in her statment.

Rereading Knife of Dreams and what Semirhage said flipped a switch in my head...
