If the goal is to write filters suitable for scientific processing I would think it makes sense to implement the filters for GEGL instead of GIMP, since GEGL operates with 32bit floating point buffers. Combining operations in GEGL to create new combined ops is something that already is possible, but needs further work (it is currently hard-coded in C while it should be done using an XML based format or similar (as well as have a usable UI.). /Øyvind K.
