That's basically what i'm trying to do.

It's a shame, i kinda like that the rest of the project is made entirely in code :)

I might have a play with this: http://gappyfacets.com/2015/11/06/blender-tissue-add-on-elementary-experiments/

That was my first thought and i gave it a go but there was no way to
ensure that the cells were all complete, most of the cells on the edges
were all partial which would be ok except the cells are only strong when
they're complete.

Are you trying to make a 'space frame model'?  A bit like doing "adaptive
cubic subdivision" but with wire frame instead of solid-faced cubes?

That's not something you'll have an easy time doing in OpenSCAD since you
don't get numerical access to the geometry.
