Can you suggest some papers or books to read, to be able to achieve this size? Maybe even component suggestions.

5 milliamps at 400 volts is 2 watts. At that power level, an inverter may be a better choice than a flyback converter.

Presumably you mean CCFL inverter. When is the last time you saw a CCFL inverter that's in the size of 3.2mm*2.5mm?

With that transformation ratio and power level, I doubt a flyback configuration which has to use its transformer as an energy storage element will be smaller than an inverter.
CCFL inverters typically use current driven Royer oscillators but a hard switched inverter is feasible also.
Inverters can drive capacitive multipliers just as easy as flyback converters if that is required.

The cost is in the transformer. Best to use something off the shelf.
It's in the realm of compact camera xenon flash DC-DC converters, LT3750, LT3751 or NCP5080. Mating TDK or Coilcraft transformer is much higher current but good.
