Try

wine c:\program /files\mi (blah blah blah)

Remember you have already mounted your VFAT partition, so the mnt/vfat bit
is not needed (and will not work for that reason). I think you might have to
use double backslashes instead.

It's safer to use the UNIX-type structure, e.g.:

wine /mnt/vfat/program files/microsoft office/office/winword.exe

I always use "--managed" as well...
