I would also be interested in such a tutorial.

I tried to start my application by running a shell within the winepack runtime, but sorrily my application is 32bit and trying to start it from the shell prompt resulted in an error. I don't know how start the shell in the winepack runtime with the Compat32 extension loaded (although I see it when doing a flatpak list).

In the meantime I was able to run an existing 32-bit exe within some flatpak based on winepak. I followed the tips/instructions given by egrath's winfile readme to create the flatpak with Compat32 extension, installed it and could run the existing exe from within winfile and from the shell.
