...on Rand's part?
In the first place, he appears to have anticipated his survival, as the first thing he does upon awakening is observe that Alivia did her job in providing him with exit support. How was that arranged beforehand?
"Hey, Alivia buddy, there's a chance I might live through this

Pretty much.
I was set up with that scene where Cadsuane (Or was it Moiraine, I forget which) tells Rand he shouldn't go to the battle taking his death for granted.
He did listen, and planned something. And yeah, it was to vanish, in disguise (inverted MoM) with as few people as possible aside from his three women and Alivia knowing.
He didn't foresee the Moridin solution, that "of course" moment came as he exited SG. "Of course, I didn't understand but now I do.. I need not vanish, I need to fake my death".
I'm pretty sure he did like the pipe: he thought himself as Moridin, and thought Moridin as "Rand"... and it happened.
