To compute normal perturbations for most patterns, POV-Ray samples the
pattern at 4 points in the vicinity of the surface point.

Obviously, the distance between those 4 sample points is not infinitely
small; as a matter of fact, it is in the order of magnitude of 0.02. As
you will notice, your brick_size parameters are close to that value.

To get the desired effect, it is sufficient to increase the brick_size
and mortar values, and instead make use of "scale" to get the desired size.
