I would like to take a filter (in this case, the mosaic) and use it as a base for another filter. I want my end result to be the mosaic, but without the borders between "tiles". I want to know if there is a way to customize the filter beyond the dialog box.

Is it possible to copy the code and put it into my scripts folder for editing?

No, you can't put this filter's code into your scripts directory and change it.

GIMP's mosaic is written in C and needs to be compiled and linked into a platform-specific binary in order to be usable. And as a plug-in rather than a script, that binary then belongs into the plug-ins folder.

You can change the source code of it and do that, but you may have to acquire the skills to do so first.

Have a look: git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/plug-ins/common/mosaic.c?h=gimp-2-8
