I can display the virtual horizon in Live View on my Nikon D7200, but I can’t find how to show it when shooting through the optical viewfinder. Is there a menu setting for this, or does it need to be assigned to a button?

It's quite easy:
Bring up the Camera Menu and under the CUSTOM SETTINGS MENU go to “f Controls”. Scroll down to “f4 - Assign Fn button”. Press the right arrow button once. You will now see a list of functions available. Select “Viewfinder virtual horizon”. Press the OK button.
Your function button is now set to show the virtual horizon tool in the viewfinder. To access it simply press the function button once. In the viewfinder you should now see two scales – one running left-to-right on the bottom of the screen, and on the right side of the screen you should see the same scale running from top-to-bottom. To turn off the virtual horizon press the function button once.

On the D7200, the viewfinder virtual horizon is typically accessed by assigning it to a button rather than turning it on permanently in a menu.
Go to: Custom Settings Menu → f Controls → f4 Assign Fn button Then choose Viewfinder virtual horizon.
After that, press the Fn button to display the virtual horizon while looking through the optical viewfinder. Press the button again to turn it off.
In Live View, the horizon display is separate: press LV, then use the Info button to cycle through the available on-screen displays until the virtual horizon appears.
