Can I move / copy edited landscape cells to a new location?

I’m working on a Morrowind mod, a small island just south of Seyda Neen covering 4 exterior cells (I think starting around cell 2, -14). I’ve already finished the exterior layout: landscape editing, buildings, walls, and other statics. I was about to start interiors, NPCs, quests, etc.

Before continuing, I tested it in-game with coc and realised the cells I edited overlap with land added by Tamriel Rebuilt. So my mod is now incompatible with TR because we both edit the same landscape/cells.

Since TR is so widely used, I’d rather move my island elsewhere than force incompatibility. My question is:

Is there a way (possibly in OpenMW CS) to copy/move the landscape edits from those 4 cells to completely new untouched cells elsewhere on the map, then delete the original landscape edits so TR works normally again?

I know I can probably copy/paste object references like buildings and statics manually in the regular CS - the main thing I need help with is moving/copied landscape data itself.

Trying to avoid restarting from scratch if possible.
