Patched wine only for one prefix?
i have a software running with an extremely patched wine, how can i have this patched wine running with the prefix of my software and everything else with my normal wine?

This is if you built and installed your patched Wine to a different directory.
If you did not do the above, you should create a new directory with the patched wine in it and place it so that the wine and other Wine programs are not linked into /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin (many Linux distributions place both of these directories in the PATH environment variable.)
If you did the above you should be able to run programs that are in the $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files directory structure by issuing the command
wine <program name> in the executible's directory.
I have made the assumption that you know how to install both the patched and unpatched versions and how to link and unlink files from their symbolic links in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin.
